In time, will the M1100 become a good modding platform?

What do you guys think?

In time, do you think the new M1100 will be as good of a platform for making a really personalized monster or not?

ROBsS4R · November 23, 2008, 10:50:30 PM

Yeah No doubt.

I am sure the people who dont currently like it will love it after people start personalizing it.

just take a look at some the 696 changes already. and not even the stock DP parts.

What bike wouldn't?

Yes it will be

After visiting the Ducati stand at the milan show there's no doubt about it

some of the new parts are awesome.

Let the go times roll [moto]

That's one of the major tenants of the whole Monster line, so yeah it will absolutely be a well modded bikes.

Autostrada Pilot · November 24, 2008, 11:28:02 AM

I think so. In fact, I can't wait to see a tastefully modded one.

When people have a passion for their toys, they come up with cool mods for them.

It's all about the money. Ducati HAD to make it a receptive modding platform. Money is in extras

kopfjÃ¤ger · November 24, 2008, 04:57:39 PM

I think they made it look like shit on purpose, so we will spend thousands to make it right.

DucatiBastard · November 24, 2008, 05:34:11 PM

i think there is some truth that, seems like its more with the car makers. i remember when the PT cruiser came out it had ugly plastic bumpers, and i remember thinking, "why wouldn't they paint the bumpers on a brand new frickin car?" few years later, bumpers are body color. i think they do that crap just to have something relatively cheap to change, like look! its a whole new car!

Yea, give me a big round carbon fiber headlight first thing.

I'm sure it already is a great modding platform. In a couple of years I will be very interested in picking one of these up. I already like the look of the 1100 with the Ex-Box on it, and if somebody releases a nice tail chop or mod for the rear end I will mostly be happy. I can certainly live with the rest of the cosmetic changes.

NuTTs · November 25, 2008, 10:26:14 AM

Yeah, I think itÂ´s a good platform for modding.. a lot of things are shared (as usual) across the current and past Ducati line-up. SSS, Wheels, forks, motor etc.

IÂ´m sure there are a lot of companies busy churning out aftermarket kit for this bike.
