why are they messing with this 'testorone/viagra' looking thing, when what we need matty is the 848s or 848r 

If you buy one, I'll buy one and 848 that is.
Now that would be too much fun on the track.....

Can i have a go Matty 

So is this thng for real or what, if so are they coming to Australia and how much??

I like it.

Will still reserve judgement until I see the side profile, but I'm already liking it more than the new Monsters

I don't mind the look, but I'm not 100% convinced until I see it in a different colour and the photo's aren't so dark.
I just think for the 1098 naked, Ducati could and should have been more aggressive with the look and layout.

Kind of like your report card from school, So much Potential, If he only really put his mind to it.

I like it. 

I prefer it to the new style monster.
But, have to see them all close up.
Here's the rat version.

Is it me or is there a resemblance?

Hmmm ...

Reminds me a bit of the Benelli, sort of like a giant mechanical monster chewed up a big box of parts then barfed them up in the rough shape of a motorbike.  So, in case you haven't guessed, I'm not a fan.  I do, however, reserve the right to change my mind when I've seen one in the flesh.

On the other hand I saw a new 1100 monster on the weekend and IMHO it's very fine indeed.

Darth Vader gets drunk, makes love to a refrigerator.....

At least what resulted from that union would be half cool     
That's not

hmm... doesn't look too production ready.
For those of you who have seen my bike, you already know; thats what I would end up doing to an SBK anyway, so I may aswell save some time and get some already made....













nahhh..... custom 1 off all the way is my style. - Chris

We like Monsters because of the shape and style of the bike, this aint no Monster, and maybe that is the reason we are so biased.

Would'nt mind blagging a ride on one though......







                                                          Mmick

I'm liking it a lot more. When you think about it, yeah maybe it looks like whatever else out there, but when you throw in a Desmo and dry clutch into the mix... BEAST.

I'd love riding this baby around.

Yep, liked it from hte start, Open clutch cover, piss off the mirrors, I think it will be a winner. Its not unlike a S4RS just new styling. I think it looks heaps better than the 1100 monster.

After seeing Steph's 696 I like the look of the new shape Monster , I likey a lot this new street fighter as well, move with the times people.
