 2017 Monster? 

http://www.ilducatista.com (http://www.ilducatista.com)

Just sent out a "what is this, speak"  message to my inside man

 Frame looks different, but this could be a test mule for something else? I thought the air cooled engines where left to the scramblers?

many customers who wanted a new Monster didn't want an 821 and kept the old Monsters . . . Maybe, this is a M796 or smaller . . . Will know for sure in a few weeks

Still has the ugly headlight

 I'm thinking why would would Ducati change the the frame so much, to make it larger than the current frame? I'm thinking this is a test mule for a larger scrambler i'v been reading about.

New chassis, dual swingarm with offset shock, air cooled motor. Big bore motor? Hmm .. Are there extra oil lines Im seeing? An advanced oil cooled cylinder jacket to manage lean afr heat and muffle motor noise? Have Ducati listened and found a way to hold off EPA standards.
I wish..

So maybe a new Monster spring boarding from the Scrambler?

Scrambler WILL keep frame as is at least this 1st gen . . . They're going for a "more offroad" Scrambler Enduro, notice it is higher and forks show it . . .

Ok Ung. This one's for you.

Another pic showed up today, the frame looks like the original style monster!

That would be a bad place to put them. It may be on an arm extending from the rider pegs, just hard to see in that picture.

Except for the headlight, I really like the new 797.  [Dolph]

I think the return to something reminiscent of the original frames is a big factor for me.

And the front mudguard is awful...

Silver frame and wheels and red bodywork and we're in business! 👍🏻

I like the new Monter 937.  BUT might as well be a Yamaha.  The last good looking Monster was the 797, but my 695 still has the original monster Charm.
