How can something like this be nice?
It's larger than an aircraft carrier

What did he said?



Things I would do on that bike:
1. Remove large OEM mirrors.
2. Add bar-end mirrors.
3. Change controls to clip-ons.
4. Ride it!!

 Mass centralization is what makes those things work so well. If you can't get past the look, you miss out!

I think they did a fantastic job designing it. Great mix of old and new. The tail light looks great, the monoshock looks great (and probably works great). Really cool "new school" bike.

The proportion is all wrong , its quite UGLY  .

[Grappa]

I really dig it.  With clip-ons it would be gorgeous.  But $14K is BS, too much for me.

I wish they would bring the R1200S back, only lighter weight. Regardless of what you think of the flat twin, it makes a very nice back road tool. Very much like the 2 valve Ducati motor!

it's growing on me pretty quickly - i like the mono seat quite a bit.

Ducati need to take note and make a Monster Classic, full trellis frame, classic style, modelled on the original, round headlight, dual sided swingarm, pipes each side, air/oil cooled 1100/1200 motor,  Ohlins all round, all the good Brembos and electronics without it looking like it.
BMW are to be commended for having a go in this direction.

However, the 1993 900 Monster was a game changer.
Did someone say cough, Teutonic rip off, cough, cough?

Yep that's hot. Needs nothing but 1 LH bar end mirror and it's done. Mmm.

If I had the scratch, I'd have a hard time turning this one down.

Like this?

Yep.

[ungeheuer]

I like it, but I like the Griso a lot better.

My thoughts exactly.
