I think it looks bad ass.  For a superbike sans plastics it looks very clean.  The lines are very consistent with the 1098/1198.  the angle of the headlight and mini fairing are in direct line with the tank.   I'd have to photoshop it to confirm but i'd bet the headlight is in the same position as the headlights on the 1098/1198 and that might be for an engineering reason.  The exhaust is also the best looking stock exhaust I've seen in a long time on a naked bike. 

The MSRP for a new one is high but I'll be searching the want ads next summer/fall that's for sure.

Add some CRG's and lose the mirrors and I'd be very happy and all set for the Tenn/NC mountains.

Whatever it looks like, it does look fast...

But if fast was enough, the B-King would be popular.  :-\

Why did they cover up the subframe like that? It seems as though they were planning on using an aluminimum subframe like the monster but finaly decided to use a trellis subframe (which didn't look good on this bike) and then added the plastics to cover it up.

I kinda wonder how the headlight would look on a monster (1100). I like the smaller instrument panel on the streetfighter. The one on the monster just sticks out too much.

For a 15.000$/â,¬ bike the standard one looks shit. The S version looks a lot better with the contrasting color frame and wheels.

put the seat and tank on a regular monster and put something like the hypermotard headlight on it but slightly different on a 2v version of the bike and you will have one really slick looking bike.

the lower radiator looks just way too large for the bike, if that thing was tossed the bike would take on a much sleeker look to it.

not sure i like the headlight with all the angles to it, i understand they made it look like a minature version of the 1098 faring but for some reason it has too many reflective parts on it.  simplfy it with something like the brutale hadlight and it will look perfect.

true, but I'm guessing it 'l look better in person. There aren't any good pics of it, but when the light is on (which should be always, at least in most of the EU countries) it appears to be a round shape.

I LIKE IT!  I just wonder what the exhaust is gonna sound like.  The cans look good and I would hate to have to lose those looks just to get better sound (but in reality, you gotta pay to play).  I think the mirrors would fall off at the shop though.

More power =more heat.  I don't think you can just "toss" something like that...

To Ducati's credit, they DID take a lot of flak for the liquid-cooled monsters' exposed plumbing looking unsightly.  This bike appears to be an attempt to address that.

I can't say I like like the look of this bike. Some of it I like but overall the whole bike doesn't flow all that well. The headlight assembly is too small and too low imo...

you just made up my mind... i was preferring the black S but not wanting to spend the extra dosh... this looks great. i'll put some dough aside for a carbon fender.

i actually love the way the waist-line on the headlight fairing lines up with the tank line... it's purty.

I like the red and white a lot better than the black.  I think the all black just made it look too thick.
