I also think the new monster is pretty good too, a good update to a classic design to give a more contemporary look with the spirit of the original.

It looks like the new monster's been forgoten about in this thread and it seems we are foucused on that bim now, is this a conscious effort? is this a statement in itself?

Maybe it means that the new Monster hasn't exactly grabbed us by the bollocks!
Where is the flair, the imagination, the originality? I like a bike that shocks and stuns when you first see it- does the new Monster do any of that? |

that's the same for me - when I saw the Rs, I had to have it.

did they really need to redesign the monster? i mean couldnt a few styling tweeks and new engines have been enough?
the only thing i would want to change on mine is longer tank range...... maybe we should start a poll on the new monster? Last edited by neilbaldry; 06-11-2007 at 07:37 PM.. Reason: added a bit |

Remind you of these?
long time, no post....
Not bad but how are they ever going to improve on the original classic? All starting to look a bit generic these days but I guess the Monster started it all. And you can put your throw-over panniers in the bin with those cans. derbi_mulhacen(2).jpg mt03.jpg ian |

I like it, I've always liked shotgun exhausts, and why change a classic too drastically for the sake of it. Having been to Fighterama I've got loads of ideas I'd love to do to mine when we have the money, I think it will be a very long term project!

Hi Guys
Well i am not sure, the bike looks ok but it lacks the monster in it for me. I like the fuel tank shape and the grills in the top of the fuel tank but will it effect the distance you can travel on it. Not keen on the light, it looks a bit like an Aprillia. Generally all in all it is a lovely looking bike and I would love to own one but it is just lacking that certain something for me that my old girl has got. Gully |
