Press Launch of the New Monster 797

Why they're using that awful primer colour for the press \ show bikes is beyond me? Ducatis are red. And when they are not red they are black or white (or whatever, you see where I'm going with this...) but they are not supposed to look like they forgot to paint it!

Do 'new' riders with no experience of anything really shell out £9k on their first bike? Fair play to them if they do I suppose, and I guess it depends on what they learnt to ride a bike for. I mean, the implication is that it's just to pose about on, since you can buy a used Ducati for a lot less money... Even the M696 cost a fair bit less than that from new. It just doesn't add up to me?

In other news, it seems I'm a tad grumpy this morning
