ducati air cooled engines.

[Drunken Monkey]

I prefer air cooled engines because water cooled engines are the work of Satan.

Seriously? Do we need a real reason?

Fine... Radiators and plumbing hoses are an abomination on an otherwise gorgeous bike. Until they find a way to make those fit the rest of the sexily narrow and vaguely industrial styling of a Monster, I want no part of them.

Frankly, one kitten per start seems like a bargain

You know, I like all kinds of bikes, and there are many types that I don't care for or are simply not interested in.  But for me it's not water cooled versus air cooled, or 4 cyl versus whatever (though my favorite is the V Twin and L Twin).

Though I'm a HD guy from way back, as a rule I really don't like cruisers.  I like bikes that cruise, but not bikes that are "cruisers" by design.  Same for factory "customs" (?).  Though there are some exceptions (precious few).

Utlimately, I just look at a bike.  If I like it, I like it.  If I can ride it and I like the ride, well, I like the ride.

Lot of folks out there on goofy bikes, but hey, this is one area where I believe in to each their own.

However, I'm still waiting for someone to tell me my watercooled Monster isn't as "green" and planet friendly as an aircooled bike.  That would desrve a smack down of some sort.

It isn't. The four valvers chew up too many tires. The two valver weak sauce monsters make 'em last.  It's the lack of a reasonable amount of power.

+1.  It was a beyotch to try and 'hide' the wiring/plumbing on my latest custom S4Rs. 

For me, I'm a simple guy (albiet quite particular) and a 2V motor just makes more sense for me.  Besides, once the mileage has piled on...valve adjustments only come around once every 20K or so.

call me crazy but the plumbing, hoses, wiring, and other raw industrial "junk" on my S4R is why i think it's gorgeous.  downright sexy.
