Yeah, I'm thinking some Termi pipes might help put some lipstick on that pig. No, seriously. There's no telling what someone could do with that blank canvas. It is what it is, like it or not. The trick is always to see what folks can turn it into! I don't like it but I'd love to see what people do with it!

More straight, sensible talk from down under! Hey, you need to tell me how your scooter trip went with the Kreiga luggage on the Monster. Cuious minds want to know!

Could work on the Diavel ... I'll PM to avoid getting off track 

I thought I already had

I'm old and forgetful. Humor me.

It's just my opinion like every other post on this thread.

Except this one:

That thing looks stupid.

That's a fact.

I like it.

I'm not sure what particular niche it would fill on my mile-long list of bikes I "need"... but I like it.

Will stick to my Harley for cruising.  The monster fits my niche just fine

I've read a lot about this bike, and I'm really excited about it.

Apparently the rear tire is 'extra rounded' so that it doesn't suffer from the typically poor performance of a fat-rear tire. Can't find the link for this little nugget.

The weight is reported to be around 440 lbs, dry - which is really not cruiser-like at all. Additionally rumored, it get's a 40 degree lean angle and 150 hp. Given the power/weight ratio and the lean angle; this is going to out-perform any cruiser you can find... so much so that I don't even consider it a cruiser. It's a power-standard

Personally, I like the looks. It's downright nasty ... in a good way.  Imagine clipons, rearsets, and shorty-termi shotgun style exhaust. Imagine the SOUND that shorty-termi shotgun style exhaust would put out of that engine.

if indeed they have made a special tire for this bike, can you imagine the price on that thing!

Yeah, like trying to find a wide, inexpensive selection of 200/55x16s for your Desmosedici.

Extra rounded?  Is that like "kinda pregnant"?

I like it. I mean, I think it's great, but I wouldn't buy one.
It will sure shake up the power cruiser market.
I will stick with my old Monster.

Me no- likey 

What does Diavel mean anyway?
