   boo  Very disappointing for the 20th anniversary monster.

 A paint job and old mirrors,  Embarrassed.  An  1100 evo sp, Ohlins, forged wheels, parts bin bike would not be asking too much for a 20th anniversary edition.

They stayed pretty true to it for quite a while.

It went to hell with the 4V.

I'm not remotely impressed by this...

They could do so much better.

hmmm

IF I were the one designing a 20th Anniversary Monster

Complete frame including subframe gold
Wheels, all three models get three spokers even SSS (think 916), gold
brake calipers, goldline
goldline masters
new exhaust with double sided low exhaust (using 696 routing too  waytogo I have the plans in the works)
single colored red bodywork, no black stripe and no bumper on rear seat
snowflake rotors, full floating, gold
special model light with no center bar
yes, mouse ear mirrors
and of course bring back the S model for the Evo with Ohlins

they did capture some of this in the bike. and honestly, I had some of this already in mind. I've been thinking of going gold frame,wheels and red body this winter. now I'll be a copycat  Angry

I was going to comment on them, but then the stock mirrors on the new bikes aren't any better.   Wink

The gold frame is awesome, though.

laughingdp  Those are the most authentic part about it.  (Of course those all got stripped off the original bikes right away in favor of barends.)

I kind of like it.  In the known context of most Ducati "special editions" being mainly cosmetic, it's no worse than any other.  I think that color scheme works well with the bike.  I wouldn't but one just to get that, but if I was buying a new Monster, I'd probably pick that.

Remember, though, that the original Monster was a partsbin bike done on the cheap -- stuff a 900SS motor in an 888 frame, fit low budget non-adjustable suspension, a few cosmetic bits, and boom.  No fancy high-zoot stuff.

That happens to be the time that the Monster was created though.  How could that be the wrong timeframe, though?  The logo itself is uninspiring, I agree.  But that era in the '90's saw several of Ducati's best designs.  The 916, the best 900ss, and the original Monster were the lineup; all still desirable classics and great bikes today.

Agreed.

I was impressed that they changed the colour of the frame; I figured the anniversary edition would just end up being a new 'Monster Art / Logomania' set of plastics.


The original Monster isn't coming back; the design has moved on.  There are things I like and dislike about both the 'old' and 'new' designs.  Fanboys of the old design who hate the new aren't going to be happy regardless, but I think it was nice that Ducati did something more than just release some new plastics with the 90s logo and call it a day.
