And while you're there check out the new Bayliss 1098R LE.  nice!

man the bayliss is awesome

Can't wait to see the streetfighter in person, and after riding the 748s to work and stuff, I sure do miss my monster.  Wonder if ergos will be the same as the monsters.  Not too bad looking, really have to withhold judgment until I see it in person.   Ducati sure is going in a whole new direction in styling.  Kind of sad for seeing the S*R gone, but out with the old and in with the new.

Ergos like the monster? I think they look pretty good in this photo, not too upright but not overly agressive,
as usual Ducati nails the proper compromise between comfort and performance!!




I love the reference to the 1098 seen here in the scoops below the headlight. Although I would have prefered a fairing this looks pretty good...

[flynbulldog]

It looks pretty good in red!

You are right the ergos look pretty good.  some good photos.  I do think the scoops 1098 style is pretty cool.  I also like the little bit of fairing around the oil cooler.

Flynbulldog, you sold the monster   Holy cow, well I guess if your going to get the street fighter, that is cool!!!!  Never thought I would hear you sell monster though   Congrats when you get the new steed.

Gonna have to disagree..... ah nothing makes the multi less ugly   

I could find out where you live. And when I do, I'll post the address up on the multi board under the heading: atheistic, commie, multi hater. 


It IS a pretty bike and something I'd be glad to ride like hell, but not something I'd want to own. I side with ZLTFUL on this one. Monsters were better when they didn't look so . . . . Japanese.

And the headlight from the side looks like old-lady saggy boobies.

Company would be nice out here   Especially if you don't mind hole's the size of a 45 in your duds, or a 20 gauge perhaps

Nope not me, it is a streetfighter, it fits that segment along with the z1000, cb1000r, bking, speed triple, etc.
People in the US are not accepting it as it is, there would have been an uproar if they called it a Monster!

quit making sense!
