I really like that, now if the 1100 looks like that I'll be avin one. I was in Ducati Ayesbury today pestering for info and release dates but alas they know nothing yet. They've got my number though as the head honcho is in Milan right now waiting by the Ducati stand

Time to sell body parts again.

I think the 696 looks very sexy in places, but will have to wait until I see it in the flesh before wanting to PX.

Though the Monster is a much loved design, things have to evolve eventually and it is a natural progression from the familiar looks. I would like to see it in person but from the piccies on the web thus far it does look rather tasty. I like the idea of clip on tank panels. Change your wardrobe and your bike at the same time to suit. Tres chic!

I really like it.To be honest the first glimpse I had doubts but then its got all the same mods like on mine. I like the holes in tank as they remind me of PUGI's road racing one. Its just a shame its entry level for now as I would need at least 900 for 99% two up. Be good if they bring out a 1200 though.

Well done Ducati its great 10/10

i really like it. the frame is amazing! i like the headlight, the mirrors, the swingarm, the wheels. i just dont really like the exhausts.......

Can you lot all stop looking at it, the page is taking forever to load and I just can't pedal any faster. In fact the whole world must be looking but I did get a glimpse of the back end and that looked very tasty. Ah I'm there and at first glance, I like and if they do a bigger one it may be worth an upgrade in two and a half years time, by which time any niggles will hopefully have been ironed out!!!

They have kept it very much a monster, funny seeing the shock on an angle and I love the tank and the back end but I will have no where to put my spex!!

Well done Ducati, this monster owner likes it

I guess it will be at the NEC?

Exhausts are almost MotoGuzzi Griso in size!!!!

Like it though..... bit concerned they have lowered the seat height..... being 6ft myself.

Ha ha very funny!!! Actually I have lost sunglasses leaving them on the tea tray so it will save a bit on that!!!

Not sure about this! Looks great from the rear, but from the side, looks like someone smashed it in the face!!

Site's bloody slow too!

Hmmm...

Have to agree with you Darry. It definitely looks better from the back.

I've no problem with them lowering the seat height...

05-11-2007, 07:50 PM

Man what a relief! I was worried that it was going to completely blow me away...that I'd really want one. Fortunately for Ducati a lot of people do/will like it. Personally I think it looks hideous.

We seem to agree on a lot of things... go treat yourself to a CALippo!
