There you go Martin, Put your hand up and tell work that you will be quiet happy to put 1 of those around the race track so everyone gets to see how classy it does look and sound and that you would be more than happy to race for a full season next year on it promoting it the way it should be promoted. What a great way to get back on a bike and back into the racing scene. You never know if you dont give it a go. Ducati's Rule.:first::niceone:

I'm sorely tempted by the 696 but that 1100 looks damn sexy as well

Wonder what the price will be? I'd imagine about the 21k mark

They were only released last night, so there are no prices yet.

I think it would be a fantastic bike!
95hp to be honest is more than enough for this style bike. You ever ridden a Hypermotard? Same thing really.

Racebike? Na, got a cbr coming for that :woohoo:
Would happily race an 848/1098 though! :rockon:

Nah, sorry mate, they've had....what a decade and a half?.... to think about a replacement and it looks worse than the old jobby, at least from the back anyway. So much weight, so high on a bike is just dumb thinking.

Dumb thing may be true if you wanted to race

If however like me its about looks - rider position - and "wank factor" then it's not necessarily dumb thinking

I don't need or want a race bike - I want "WANK VALUE" :wari:

Edit: Oh finally, now it goes.
They should be burned for using a bloody flash intro...

The subframe looks better than the concept's since it's black and you can't see it. They should do that to the pillion peg hangers as well. They really do look horrible.

Looking quite nice, 1100cc, and looks like they're making a 3/4 version for midgets.

MONSTER 1100: ABSOLUTE MONSTER

The arrival of the new 1100 and 1100 S now increases the size of the Monster family, a family that redefines the naked motorcycle and stakes its claim as the new icon of Italian excellence.

The ‘less-is-more’ philosophy behind all Monsters underlines Ducati’s never-ending pursuit of genuinely compact, high performance motorcycles, but these new models have succeeded in being even more ‘pared down’ than their predecessors. The Monster 1100 weighs 169kg (168kg for the S version), making it by far the lightest bike in its category.
.
The new Monster 1100 design perfectly balances sports performance, riding pleasure and stunning looks. With its new single-sided aluminium swingarm, high level of componentry, race-oriented chassis and 15 years of evolution, the Monster 1100 now takes its place at the head of the Monster family.

The Monster 1100 S is a pure concentrate of lightness, power, design and exclusivity. The ‘S’ features fully adjustable 43mm titanium nitride coated Öhlins forks and progressive Öhlins rear shock absorber with adjustable pre-load and return damping. Carbon fibre cam belt covers, silencer guards and front fender reduce weight by a further 1kg (2.2lb). The distinctive racing gold coloured 5-spoke wheels of the Monster 1100 S give it an elegant style and the same sporting look as historical Ducati racing models.

Both versions of the new Monster 1100, already come factory-personalised with removable single seat covers and neat micro-bikini fairings, are powered by the charismatic two-valve 1100cc Desmodromic twin-cylinder engine that boasts a 98mm bore and a 71.5mm stroke, delivering 95hp at 7500rpm and an impressive torque of 10.5kgm (79.5lb-ft) at 6000rpm.
The first public appearance for the Monster 1100 will be at the International Motorcycle Show in Cologne (INTERMOT – Hall 8) starting form the 8th October. First arrival in Australasian markets will be December ’08 – January ’09 with RRP to be announced closer to arrival.

Yeah OK, we've known about the bike for ages but fuck me, what shite photoshop job! Of all people you'd think the italians would know about perspective. Or is that the Greeks?

It is an appallingly bad piece of photoshopping, make no mistake.

Still prefer the previous model though, it had a more classic shape. Maybe I need to see it in the flesh. When you getting one in Martin?

But but but its only got an air cooled engine what I want to know is when are they bringing out the S4RS replacement, you know the one with the 1098 motor.

S4RS still looks mighty fine to me! Do we need a 1098 engine in a naked bike?

Looks like a larger version of the 696 with a single side swingarm. Still, a major improvement over the S2R 800:
