msincredible, I'd like to address you first..... you are one of my fav peeps here. You're always friendly and you've made a mission of greeting every person in the "introduce yourself thread" and I feel it's important for someone to respond to those post, or new members(not so much peeps from TOB) could feel they maybe came upon an unfriendly site. So kudos to you. 
On to topic. Yeah depending on your size th Monster can appear some what diminutive, personally I like it. Kinda like diamonds and dynamite, good things can come in small packages. More importantly, while it is compact it definitely looks powerful and sturdy. I feel like I'm riding the moto equvalent of a bulldog. 

+1 for both Msincredible, and the bulldog aspect of the monster.


When I decided to get back into riding last year, after 15 years away, I wanted a bike that reminded me of what I used to ride. Something open, simple, light, and easy to fling around. The monster was just about the only bike available that met my criteria.

"Ducati Bulldog" kinda has a nice ring to it.  They should change the name of the Monster to the Bulldog.

I have to say, seat height on my 696 is perfect for my size.
It fits like a glove, I'm only 6'5". Compact and nimble, the way I like it.
