Monster Colour therapy!

[gearhead]

The orange I had envisioned had a light gold fleck or vivid orange pearl and replacing the centre tank covers with carbon fibre  peaces. I would love to swap the Hypermotards black rims also. While at it I'd add a CF seat cowl.

I wonder if we'll see any graphic tanks.  Didn't Ducati offer custom graphics on a previous Monster?

There's been DP tank skins with...um... graphics since day one... and my aren't they just freakin' fabulous too.....

I like the silver, but I am just a simple man..

i do think just getting your bike painted would be way cheaper, but, looking at the prices of all those panels alone! this is cheaper at $800! the bikini fairing alone is what, $400?

I think to keep this a viable option they would have to price this around 1K for everything. If it came out to be 2K most people will say F' that.

I don't know about $1k.  You can buy a 2nd 696 for 8k!  Why would you spend 15% of that price on a color?  I am thinking more like $500 or less for this to "work".

In other words, I am not too impressed with this plan.  It is a big overhead to Ducati with no gain in my opinion.  Maybe it will catch on for riders that have a wreck and want to fix their bike cosmetics cheaper and/or change colors?
