Hmmm. I'm not a fan; perhaps it will grow on me.
The headlight isn't bad, though.

Yeah, I think I like the first third of the bike and the last third, but not the middle... To my eyes, some great things and some not so great things.

Sexy... I'm liking the potential there. Clean up the mufflers & the license plate bracket=winner. |

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.

A new exhaust would help a lot...as it does for most bikes.
Tank shape looks pretty good.
I don't know about the trellis "frame". I prefer to see more of a frame, but it may grown on me. Ducati is really embracing the frameless concept.

That's been the norm for just about every Monster ever. |

I was afraid I would be bummed I bought a 2013. I am not.
While I love the HP of the 2014 I do not like the looks all that much. It is for lack of a better term, "busy". Almost no trellis at all, an oil cooler I would break sooner or later, grab rails that when removed make the cowl look strange.
It is too much "glop" it now looks like nearly every one else's naked bike. Add to that it looks like they either partnered with Rizoma or took a serious look at their accessories and copied the style. All that being said, nice headlight! 145hp is sweet and I wish I had that much extra power. Not that I need it as I can't ride my bike to it's 100hp limits.
New signature line (I don't like New, New gen Monsters) lol

I like it. Like previous water-cooled Monsters, it has a lot more visual mass in the front. I've ridden this engine (in the Diavel & Multistrada) and think it will be a fine choice for a lighter bike like this Monster. The headlight is now fixed. I still can't get over the previous line through the middle. It looked better when done in black like the Diesel version, but still it was a silly styling move. It looks like they might have lowered the tail section a little. Without the design requirement to have an under-tail exhaust system it does not need to be so high. I'll take mine done in Diesel like colors with the black forks and headlight surround.  |

I love it!! Outfreakingstanding. I want one.
Change the exhaust, add a few farkles and it will satisfy my inner bling. I've enjoyed my 2012, but I believe it pales in comparison. I'm afraid the 1100 EVOs were just a stop gap and will end up with mediocre resale value.
