The Michael ("Mick") Brough Collection, 2013 Ducati 796 Monster

MCN had this to say about the 796 Monster: "Yee-haar. Puzzled? Don't be. The simple truth is Ducati's 796 slots nicely between the first-timer Monster 696 and the more powerful Monster 1100 and it's one of biking's easy-to-net pleasures. It's not under or overpowered, not expensive to buy second hand or maintain, easy to ride and a looker to boot. Plus it carries one of the most recognisable brand names ever on its fuel tank: Ducati."

This Ducati Monster was purchased new by Michael Brough from Ducati Wolverhampton (part- exchanging his Honda CBR600F. The machine presents well overall, although there is a crack to the front mudguard mounting bracket and a minor scrape to the silencer. It is fitted with a Quad Lock phone mount and Pirelli Diablo tyres.

The most recent MoT test was completed on 17th July 2025, at which time the mileage was recorded as 2,196 miles.
