Limited Edition Chrisian Audigier Monster

[Monster Dave]

Anyone else see this?




Here's what was posted about it:

This limited-edition Ducati Monster motorcycle is the latest addition to Christian Audigier’s line of customized vehicles, inspired by his impeccable taste for fashion and high-end lifestyle. The Ducati Monster 1100 takes motorcycle art to a whole new level with its vibrant and colorful tattoo-inspired design. The tattooed art is a mixture of airbrush and vinyl. The gas tank features a detailed gold leaf that has been carefully laid and then brushed to give it a distinctive “fish scale” look. “The Monster platform has been used extensively as a platform for personalization so naturally Ducati was excited to see what a fashion icon like Christian Audigier could do with the bike,” said Michael Lock, CEO of Ducati North America. The limited edition motorcycle retails for $55,000.

Ok...  Three things.
1) The douche-bag who posted the pics of his 'full custom bikes' has since deleted his posts and deleted his account.
2) Why the make the beast with two backs is a fashion icon accessorizing a motorcycle?
3) I don't charge enough...

I just came across it on another website and realized that I hadn't seen it posted up on here yet.

I agree though that it's fugly.

wow, didn't mean to get people so agitated - I just thought I found something new that would be worth sharing.

If this turns into a hate thread I'll get rid of it.

I'm not angry Dave, just a little miffed and NOT at you.

Although I know the builder (or "builder" according to some forum members), I am in no way associated with them nor is this posted as some kind of advertisement for them, the bike (not really my bag), or anything else that started or propagated the shit-storm that blew through last time this bike came up.

Don't bother trying to track down the original post, it is long gone...

[Monster Dave]

Ok! Thanks for that Stew!

In any case, it's a Monster done custom and that's what we all love about Monsters (modding them).

I've seen plenty of Monsters done worse - the OCC bike for example - not my cup of tea, but it's still one to chalk up to the modding evolution of the Monster.

The sad part is that I'm sure there's lots of cool stuff about that bike that gets lost in all the the discussion (including by us, by rever corsa and by DNA's own marketing) of the gold leaf and the designer name.  After all, we generally like seriously modded motorcycles.

the bike's not nearly as cool w/out the match-painted helmet and posing for the camera

i loved the following article someone linked in last time this abomination showed up:

Ok, what they did to that poor Lamborghini was shameful, but there's no accounting for taste.  I suppose if there is an actual market for exemplars like these, which there seems to be or they wouldn't have done it in the first place, then the law of supply and demand kicks in.     But look on the bright side: We'll know the squids and morons with too much money (who are compensating for their tiny little...tracts of land) riding or driving one of these vehicles right off the bat and be able to steer clear.

I'm just saying...

I agree with you.  The difference is that your bike is a stunning work of art because: simplicity is the ultimate elegance.     Christian's bike goes out of it's way to scream, "Hey!  Look at me!  I have lots of money and I'm insecure and didn't get enough attention from my mommy so I need it from you!!!"   

But seriously, you have a point.     We love our bikes and we love modding them and that's the way it is.  We're always on the look out for new ideas.  But I think the cool stuff on that bike gets lost in the over-the-top paint job and designer name.  Bummer about that.  Just my opinion.  Feel free to ignore me.
