New Monster... Not sure what I think...

Just like the streetfighter, the exhaust is one of the things that is really killing it for me. Has anyone see one of these with aftermarket pipes yet?

I don't like the picture where the 2 cans are "molded" together...there is another picture in the Ducati gallery which shows 2 individual Termis, which IMO doesn't look bad.

One thing I do like is that there are no bat wings for the passenger pegs...that's one of the things I don't like about my 696.

The old mosnter looks nicer stock, the 1100 looks way uglier stock, however the new monster has WAY more potential than the old monster. However it is not comfortable when compared to the old one.

They do the exhaust that way so they can show you the termis later on, haha!

Will be interesting to see what aftermarket exhausts look like. Will change the entire look as this stock one is way too Diavel for me. I'm having a hard time picturing this bike with a side mount 2 into 2 or 2 into 1. Monsters need an exhaust on each side of the rear wheel!

I'd wager the silencer assebly has the same part number as the Diavels

And yeah it's ugly.. The cans on the 696 769 and earlier 1100s were miles better. Maybe there will be more full systems sales... Or those under seat exhuasts that a DMF'er cooked up.

Wow that's make the beast with two backsing ugly.

I am broke at the moment (oh god, we need to start getting some clients) but I am in the market for a bike I think once things pick up. I love my S2R but I'm now wanting something a little bit more powerful, dark, and sinister. So far, all I see is this bike but again, the canisters are really making me ill. All this chunky munky crap lately.

It also does look rather uncomfortable. I RARELY have passengers (I have to REALLY, REALLY, REALLY like you to let you on my bike) so I am not so concerned with that but it doesn't look much fun on the driver side either.

*sigh* I should just finish modding the bike I have now. lol. Still want a dark swingarm... (COME ON CLIENTS!! I KNOW WE'RE A START UP BUT GODDAMN, WE GOT REALLY TALENTED PEOPLE WORKING FOR US WITH LOADS OF EXPERIENCE!!)

I'm getting antsy again.. lol.

I think that the stocker looks as good as the twin Termis, but IMO nothing looks quite as good on a Monster as an ex-box. Of course, I've got a thing for underslung mufflers.

I'm curious, though - am I the only one who prefers to have a catalytic converter on his bike?

Well, the only true test is to sit on it, and hopefully take it for a spin. The comfort issue might be a bit different for a lady rider. The new seat-tank configuration tends to want to mash external bits. This might be mitigated for those lacking external bits...

Your not alone, I love the way the cat looks with some tips on it. Im also a fan of the way it dumps on people you are sitting next to at a light, setting off car alarms is pretty fun also.

and a wet clutch?

I'm a fan of pipes on one side- then again, I may be biased.
