The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

"Cheapened" how?

Another redesign that further divides the owners? Old Monster owners, New Monster owners, Super-Duper Extra New Monster owners?

Or do you just expect it will be a bad bike?

I believe they are calling it the 795. Exclusively for the asian market. I expect lower spec across the board.

So is your objection the lower spec part, or the Asian market only part? Or the both part? 'Cause Ducati has already done that before with the M400.

Would they avoid tarnishing the marque by forcing this upon all of us equally? Grin

This is not a major redesign just a parts bin to meet a certain market

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
