Personally I'm surprised they've carried on with the Monster for as long as they have.
In my eyes it's only really been a Monster in name to carry on the line for a number of years now.
The original Streetfighter was more 'Monster' than the Monsters of the time and although the Scrambler looks to a time through rose tinted glasses, it now carries the accessory catalogue for owners to add their touches to the motorcycle in the same way the original Monsters did until the shape had the major facelift.
But even the Scrambler is in danger of ending up like Vegas era Elvis with the 1100 motor but I suppose it's customer driven with people wanting bigger and better all the time.
I know times change and the modern bikes are probably far better than the originals but ridiculous power, rider modes and quickshifters were never what the Monster was about.
......or maybe I'm getting old
