I'm not a fan of the exhaust routing, looks too much like the Diavel.
Doesn't have the solid look of the S4RS with the cheap look of plastic to boot Shocked
Will be hanging onto this for now:

Honestly I'd take the 1200 for the DSP over the S4RS no matter how much better it looks :/.

You can't please everybody but considering all the changes in this model they got a lot of things right. I think it's a very respectable addition to the Monster Lineup & the Ducati family.

I like it. Are all of those with negative comments forgetting that we Ducatisti rarely leave our bikes stock?  Consider the qualities of the bike as a starting point for your modding bug to feed on.

The M1200 was ok and all... and then I saw this:

I do like the look, but that isn't a real bike, just a well done photoshopped picture.

Yup, but it shows to me that you can have a frameless engine with a almost full trellis frame... something about the way the trellis extends further into the bike just makes it look so much better to me.  And while, yes, it might be a bit heavier... I think the monster line has always been a bit more about looks rather than the 5lbs a larger trellis might have added to the weight.

They did make it happen. M1200 is SF2 IMO.

The sad thing is is that you're probably right, it's just a pity that ducati called it a streetfighter and not a monster with a couple of numbers or letters, personally I think it would have kept the price of insurance down... bang head
