It is... green.
And it has a heat shield around the gauges, lest you burn yourself... on the gauges.

I really think I want one! I wasn't excited about the new Monsters, but I could see this one in the garage.

I like the shields on the cans...but to say the least, I am disapointed because I was hoping this was a bike that used Diesel fuel....was thinking that Ducati was making the leap from making a bike of performance to making one of super fuel economy since the Bulldog KLR project went nowhere...

+1. I'd have been much more impressed at that

I like it, but is it worth $1,800 more than the standard EVO? Maybe.
The green looks a lot different with some light on it.
The seat is awesome.

I agree - Diesel powered would have been even cooler

i like the look, but those plates over the air intakes have gotta mess up the breathing a bit... and once you get slip ons then you lose some of the styling you paid for.

The grills? Those aren't intakes. They are a feature to prevent the Ducati ding. You'll notice that at full steering lock the switch sets just *happen* to line up with those grills.

Don't forget the lid!
I'd have been much more impressed with a Diesel motor than a fashion bike. Oh well.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

Just something new for the hedge fund babies to use for parading in Soho, no?

I just figured that upon seeing the name it cemented the idea of Audi buying Ducati as they had a TDI Monster coming out.
Was a bit disappointed to see it's an appearance thing.
