yeah agree, I like the style.
Know you can't change the frame colour
but with a red frame and white shroud you could like very much like an S4RS.
White, red frame, white wheels.....
Or 695 red frame, black paint.

Sweet bike!

I know it would be hard to make the choice in color but aren't you able to change the shrouds??
Don't know what they cost to replace, but couldn't you possibly buy each color whenever you feel like changing.
So each year you can change the color of your Monster.....

And I wouldn't be paying any attention to "the ron" he seems to enjoy bashing more than being positive about anything.
If he feels that strongly he should pick up his keyboard and write Ducati about there design shift, instead of pouring shit on blokes who want to share
there new duc's.

Anyways enjoy it, I am looking at it here in Oz but think I might hold off till I see what happens with the bigger bikes.

cheers

if you think that the 696 looks better than that awesome bike in your posts, i am assuming that it is yours, you are mistaken. the new 696 is now and will always be a poor substitute for the original monster

the ron

oh and i am tired of writing ducati there customer services is awful. if you have anydoubt about that look at pg 136 of the july issue of motorcyclist magazine and i would do anything, anything to confront one of the marketing idiots that designed the new monster and inform them on how they destroyed the monster and made it just another sport bike looking thing.  oh by the way the new monster 1200 is on the cover of the same issue of motorcyclist magazine

Ron....

do you know any other tunes?   

Congrats on the new bike!  

Seriously, "the ron", why don't you give it a rest.  You don't like the 696...we ALL get it...we got it the last 100 times you pregnant doged and moaned about the new design.  Quit shitting on people's threads.  Especially ones where people are showing off their new bike.

those kids deserve a bump in their allowance.
