That handlebar looks super tall, but I think I really like the overall direction it appears they're taking it.

doesn't look like much has changed from the last round of pictures that surfaced last fall about this pig....

the Monster 821 on the other hand ( not to dilute your thread ) looks much more fleshed out...

WTF indeed: except for the engine, that could be anything.

And on a related note, this might be the new Diavel... laughingdp

Somehow, in a sick and twisted way, I kinda' like it. It's so bad it's almost good. In the Belt Drive Desmodue book, there is a pic of the blacked out prototype, which looks better than many contemporary cruiser copies and a lot better than the cheesy chromed out production version. The blacked out prototype has a custom XL883/1200 look about it.

Mods on Ducatis, the Rockers won't like that. I got a feeling the Ducati marketing people don't give a shit about bums like me. laughingdp

OK I am a little confused ... admittedly it doesn't take much ... but am I getting this right:

Amen brother! No truer word said! waytogo

Ducati totally missed the cue that BMW picked up loud and clear and which has seen them launch the R NineT. It is a Market Ducati already had cornered but had forsaken in their misplaced obsession positioning the Monster (instead of the Streetfighter) to compete with the Brutale, the Beast and the like. PPL are tired of plastic-clad über-performance scare-you-sh!tless yuppie-bikes. Retro is back, big time.

So BMW has got it right and Ducati has got it wrong?

BMW has got it right because they will produce the R NineT and scooters.

Ducati has got it wrong because the new Monster is not retro enough but the Scrambler raises fears of them producing a scooter. The Scrambler is their new 'retro' even though their last foray into retro was not that successful. The scooter would be just as retro as Ducati used to make scooters in the 50s and 60s. That seems to fit my idea of retro more than re-creating a retro Monster that was first produced less than 20 years ago and has only seen significant design change in the last six years ... even though it could be argued that the original Monster design was rather 'retro' itself.

At the end of the day the Monster is Ducati's volume leader and I don't think retro is big enough to support their volume seller ... the Scrambler will soon be here for that. Besides (from an aesthetic point of view) I think the new Monster is more retro than the old-new Monster.

Having said all that ... I prefer the old-old Monster styling too.

Does that make things clearer?
