Sounds more like a cross-branding exercise to sell apparel. Nothing new in terms of function (in fact, worse, since you would be stuck with the stock exhausts unless you want to lose the hokey heat shield you paid a premium for). A perfect vehicle to park in front of the Starbucks crowd.

Forgive me for not being "up to speed" enough, but what IS "Diesel"?

Disregard, I see now that Diesel is a clothing line that is apparently way more hip than I am.


I shall now go put on my Levi's and call it good.


I ride a GS scooter with my hair cut neat.

Just when I thought that there was no way to make the new Monster any worse or less desireable... they launch what I consider to be the official douche-bag edition. I remember about 10 minutes in 2007 when Diesel was cool. Actually, I think they shared those same 10 minutes with Ed Hardy. So what's next? A tatooed hate-boy edition with a matching $90 t-shirt and bedazzled seat with buttoned pockets?

Love the styling, hate the co-branding.

Grrrly

I'm a douchebag  [evil] I like the way it looks.  It's the only newer gen  Monster that's kept my attention for more than a second. 
I like that they actually did some cool stuff to the bike, and not just a DIESEL logo like other branded Monsters of the past.

I think it's  a million times better than any of the Zegna editions, those look plain dumb.

Seat is cool but that's about it for me. Looks like the bike Captain Italy would ride.
