Have you seen this?

[mattyvas]

was just trawling through google (Dock style on Desmocedici) looking for bigger Monster news and came across this.

It's only a Computer Gen mock-up but something to think about.



The small amount of info is here

There's also this one here

[Super T.I.B]

Yep, have seen it.

But I think something was said that the existing 696 frame won't take a 4V motor, so it would need a redesigned frame. 

[Big T]

Now that is one nice piece of machinery....... Like the black & red... 

[mattyvas]

yeah I think we were talking about it at Motori.
Peter from Frasers said they don't go together.
But it's nice to look at the possibility of what it could look like.

what a engine to have in a monster but it still looks like shit they need to try and ceep the retro look and it would be better for looks and for the rider if it had a fairing or screen

I thought the 696 looked a little "odd" until I saw one in the flesh...... Changed my mind completely....... 

Don't get me wrong, I do like the current Monster retro look but this new look grows on you in the flesh......

Like gangrene?

[mattyvas]

Just keeps getting worse, until you have to cut it out or off.

[Big T]

Like gangrene?

So you remove the gangrenous bits and replace them with cool carbon, titanium and other choice bits (like Saddle Box seats..  )..... 

[mattyvas]

Big T, people already know I am a fan, I've just been waiting to see what will happen with a bigger Monster.
i'll wait to see what happens with this years European bike shows before I get serious about a no.2 bike.
Or upgrading the Monster.

Iv lost the loving feeling not so keen on the new look 

On the other hand the engine has got my attention .

As they say why look at the mantel piece when all you want is the fire

[mattyvas]

This is still just a representation, as we know the 848/1098 engine don't fit in the 696 frame.
So I'll reserve judgment until something breaks cover.
There's still the 116hp item I can shop for.
As you said in the other thread, slow and steady no rush to change just food for thought.

Yeah but sometimes it is important to have a nice mantle piece when you are stoking the fire

True that, but in my case my prom queen arrives soon and all I need is a roaring fire
