Hi to all,

Picked up a new Strada Tuesday. Looking forward to trading experiences.

57 years old, Live on the coast of MS.

Also own a Triumph Bonneville. Traded a Hyper 796. Alternate the bikes weekly for commuting, though I just finished an 800 mile weekend on the new Starda.

HI Mike, welcome to the forum.
How do you like the new Strada compared to the 796?

dbmike · Oct 15, 2013

Compared to 796

Compared to the 796 it is easier to ride and more comfortable. Slightly wider at the seat when stopped, more comfortable seat while moving.. Less tired after my 350 mile ride.

I think Ducati is making progress with this bike. Easier to ride, the changes, like a centerstand and ABS/TC make the bike safer and easier to live with in the long run.

I changed from Monster 796 to HS.
I enjoy smoother and more powerful engine.
6th cover 40mph/6okmh and above.

Ride safe!

awesome, dbmike. Except, you bought the wrong color.

Joking. But, seriously, the white ones faster. It's science.
