I'm buying my first Ducati tomorrow. Its a Ducati Monster 696. I'm so excited. Can't wait!

Quick question. Below is the motorcycle I'm buying. The owner does not know if it has ABS can anyone tell right off the bat if it does or does not? Please and thank you.

What year?

If it has ABS you should see smaller rings inside the brake disks with slots or rectangular holes.
Well, inside the rear disk and 1 front disk. They are part of the ABS system, but I can't tell from your pics.

Its a 2011.

The first hit on a google search says abs was optional for that bike. So, see if she is wearing rings I guess. Maybe there is a way to check the VIN online.

I think I see what you're talking about. If you look closely at the first picture you can see a black ring with rectangular holes right on top of the disk. Quality of the picture might not be so good on here but it's better on the original pictures.

Just google Ducati abs ring for a pic.
Don't worry, they aren't evil and don't want to steal your soul.

When you turn the key to on, an ABS light comes on. It does on my 2013. Welcome to the insanity.

Congrats on the purchase!
