A Ducati which doesn't looks like Ducati.
Ugly!
OH YEAHHHH
Looks like an MV Agusta, except not as good looking. As a former Monster owner i'm not a fan really.
ducati monster bite its style from the brutalle.
Looks like Suzuki crossed with mv Augusta. Whatever this is it’s not monster. And it ain’t pretty.
The trellis frame was the monster. Boring looking now.
Successor to MV Brutale? At least Brutales have a trellis frame, this new Monster looks like a boring Japanese bike.
Just makes me think of a Suzuki sv.
Does anyone else have difficulty understanding this bloke?
Soo is there 797, 821 or 1200? Are they making one engine size monster?
Trellis is cool in a retro sort and I think you can still have it on a Desert Sled. New Monster costs about the same as a Sled with more power/tech and less weight. I like it!
So the duke 890 r weights the same, has more power and more torque in less cc, and costs the same as the ducati. I guess is up to customer preference in looks (?)
Pop a budget Honda badge on there and no one would question it
Hot and sexy, tweaked by frame, they sell emotions as always.
I don't know why people are whining so much about this bike , being technically better means it's Japanese , oh hell no
If it looks like MV that means its better
I like it though:)
It seems Ducati has decided that they wanted to take the Monster badge and use it to compete with the other manufacturers streetfighters, which the Monster never really did. I think this is a mistake as the signature Monster attributes was the one thig that Ducati had than ran through the years; kind of like Porsche does with the 911 series. I wish they had kept a more traditional Monster and created this as a different model, perhaps just a smaller streetfighter beneath the V4 Streetfighter.
it dont look italian, looks like a japanese bike to me.
Lighter, quickshifter and Alum frame sounds like a hit .. eat your heart out MT09! Except, .. reliability ..
To Japanise ugly !
It is basically the same monster as before, but with price saving measures to the frame and swingarm, as this is basically the older frame but in a cast alu version. Improved electrical gizmos yes, but over all not a new bike, at least how I see it as a mechanical engineer.
The styling is a FAIL. It's Yamaha MT level FUGLY.
take the plastic covers off of the engine, this is not a gold wing
It might be a great bike – but how is it a Monster? Oh Ducati, what have you done?
I miss my SR4 Monster!
ducati fucked up bad, no one buys a Monster for performance, it was the iconic look.
good review
Its looks like Z650 or MT07 or CB650 or just about anything thats not Monster.
I can see how the design splits opinions, but 111hp at 166kg promises to be an insanely fast tool for country roads.
No red fram ugly
I loved the smooth and muscled tank of the old more…this looks like all the other bikes.. not bad, just not Ducati.
no longer a monster really, the tank design is ugly, pipes are juvenile ,I will keep my s4rs and 620ie forever I think
