Hurt what?

A lot.
Prices?

Monster 1100 = $11,995
Monster 1100S = $13,995
(plus freight/setup)

That's a lot of money for a lot of ugly. [laugh]
OMG! :o
I think I want an 848 now

Expect the 848 to go up in price as well and have an 'S' version added for a whopping premium as well.
They are crazy! Monster 1100S = $13,995 :o Don't they know we are in a recession????
The S4RS was $14,999. [popcorn]

was it $14,999.00 out the door?

The 13,995 isn't. After freight/setup/LA county tax that Pro Italia bike will be just under $16K OTD.
I think I'll stick with my 695...
Too many other bikes that I like better that I could get for that price (or a heck of a lot less!)
I just put a deposit for one of each....can't wait.
[roll]
Put $5500 down last night just haven't decided if I want the "S" or the standard.
Canadian is $13999.95 for the standard which is what the S2R listed for.

The only recession Ducati cares about right now are the ones on each side of the new tanks.

They also know the dollar is in the crapper and may soon be worth even less, so we get to pay more for Italian machinery.
Wow, if the 1100s is $13995, what in the world is the 1098 based nakid going to cost?
Me thinks I'm not so bummed about buying that s4rt a few months ago. It was ~4K cheaper than the new 1100s, and probably another bike cheaper than the 1098 monster is going to be. [beer] [drink]
1098 monster I'd say 16,995.

they will care if they price themselves out of their biggest market :P
are those prices confirmed? we seem to be all over them, but ducati doesnt have a price set. and a jump from 8775 to 11995 ... that's a 3000 premium for 15 hp. either that's priced too high by a dealer or ducati is planning a middleweight.
I really hope they make a scrambler cause I would buy this bike, new, ya hear me DNA. [thumbsup]

Why would you put that kind of money down on a bike that hasn't even been released yet? Wouldn't that money better suit you earning interest?
the guy said it was part multistrada, but it looks more like parts from an s2r...
16k for a monster? screw that. If I was going to put that into a monster I'd buy derby's used S4R for 7500 and find a GSXR750 for the weekends and the track.
That is a ridiculous price for what amounts to an upgrade of the S2R1000 with a better suspension.
I'm a Ducati fanboy but even that has its limits.

Because I'm in Canada where we get 1/10 the quantity of bikes that the states does.
Let me clarify, I droped off my VFR on trade for the new M1100 before the pics were released on the understanding if I didn't like the bike I could switch to another Duc.
Fortunately I love the new monster.
Cheers
If we could buy a 1100S for 14000$ in the Netherlands it would be a big seller
I think we will have to pay about 14000€ and that 40% more
Just for info the prices with tax in Denmark
M 696 Kr. 137.999 = 26.000 USD
M S2R 1000 Kr. 177.280 = 34.600 USD
M S4RS Kr. 264.990 = 51.000 USD
M S4RS Tricolore Kr. 275.000 = 54.000 USD
and
Ducati 1098 Kr. 63.000 USD
And now lets talk about your recession [wine]

15HP and about 25 lb-ft of torque and a better suspension. $12K to $15K seems to be in line with what Ducati is charging for the Hypermotard and Multistrada. $3K is also about the difference between the 620/695 and the S2R1K, so that seems a reasonable expectation as well.
yeah but a 900 in between for 11k would be good for the brand

Could be, but after they eighty-sixed the S2R800 I don't see them doing it anytime soon.
problem is when you leap of the 1k cc barrier your insurance goes up. so another bike below 1000 would be nice in the Ducati lineup.
the have nothing now below 1000 except the 696 and 848 (which as a sport bike shoots insurance way up anyways)
oh to have the 750/800SS back in a new form...
It would be nice for them to make an 848 monster to replace the s4r and a 1098 monster to replace the s4rs because I too am a little bummed that the new monster is over 1k cc's. My insurance is high as it is with my age and if I were to upgrade later on I hope there are a few more options.

Yeah but if you upgrade later, you'll also be older! Win-win!
I love my S2R1000 for less than half the price of this new bike.

But my question is, why $5500 when you could have put down $1000, or even $500?

You got an S2R1K for $6K ?

I think by "$5500" he meant that he gave them his VFR as a trade-in.
It'd be kinda hard to give them $500 worth of the bike and hold onto the rest of it.

You could just give them a wheel and tell them they'll get the rest when the bike comes out.
i hope you got plenty of signed paperwork for that.
leaving the bike with them gives them time to try and sell it, which could have the following results.
1) they sell it, your deal falls through, your old bike is gone
2) they sell it, new owner has issues and returns it, they decide its not wotth as much
3) it doesnt sell, they decide its not worth what they agreed to pay

I just went from an 600CC bike to a 1100CC bike. My insurance skyrocketed. An additional $5 a month.

I was quoted 46 a month for the 696... 105 a month for the HM...

That sux. I'm at $25/month for the HM. Full coverage.
eh maybe it was divine intervention to make sure i didn't get the HM. I need to keep the front ends planted.

Zero paperwork. The dealer is a friend I've known for over 20 years.
Still not a fan of the new Monster direction. Some will like it though. IMHO, the newer bike calls out to younger, trendier riders (I like the position on the 696, actually). While the S2R versions are elegant descendants of the original Monsters.
At the price they are now asking for the 1100 Monster, I certainly am glad to have a 2008. 10K out the door is quite a bit of difference to the 14 or 15K the 1100 will sell for. I can only hope that the 1100 motor detailing is better than the 992cc motor in the S2r, which looks to have been cast with a foundry trowel.
