Air cooled monster last year?

[vw151]

so.  After reading through all this.  Water cooled vs. Air cooled in the traditional sense would be antifreeze/water vs. Just Oil.  I get that.  I am thinking an oil cooler is not necessarily what makes a bike oil cooled.  Is it jackets and channels in the motor to allow the oil to cool the engine that make it oil cooled.  These sound like places the oil is doing something other than lubricating. 

A straight up explanation would be great.

On a side note.  up until 1996 the Porsche 911 was air cooled.  Least that is what people said, I believe in actuality it was oil cooled as it took 9 quarts of oil and had an oil cooler up front where you would find a radiator on normal cars. 

I assume my s2r1000 is oil cooled.

The questioned developed out of simplicity for monsters, that do not use anti-freeze yet still have a larger CC than say 900.  I love my  M900 and I am very glad to know You can get a 1100 and dont have to change any freaking anti-freeze if you so desired.
