I own a monster....... the brand can be tarnished no further
Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

"Cheapened" how?

Another redesign that further divides the owners? Old Monster owners, New Monster owners, Super-Duper Extra New Monster owners?

Or do you just expect it will be a bad bike?

I believe they are calling it the 795. Exclusively for the asian market. I expect lower spec across the board.

So is your objection the lower spec part, or the Asian market only part? Or the both part? 'Cause Ducati has already done that before with the M400.

Would they avoid tarnishing the marque by forcing this upon all of us equally? ;D

This is not a major redesign just a parts bin to meet a certain market

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
