    The new Monsters

    Here's a look at what the 2008 Ducati Monsters are going to look like. Apparently they'll all be air cooled and they're dropping the Testasretta's. and bringing out a naked version of the 1098.

    Full official press releases and specs on all the new 2008 models will be available at Ducati after the 6th November.

    now thats all kinds of sexy... but i reckon if you took a hacksaw to the seat and put some dual headlights in you'd get a speed triple... might not spawn an extra cyclinder but they would look pretty similar...

    I think the one on the right might have a small/meduim displacement due to the single front disc. Here's a cgi rendering of another possible variation of the 695 - can't wait till the 6th:

    Why would you change the monster? It was much better looking in it's original guise.
    I'd much rather have an Aprilia Shiver now, whereas before it was a tie between that and the Monster.

    The first pic is monster but the second is hypermotard.

    I dunno. I think it looks less like a "monster" now and more like everything else

    Hah! No surprise that they've taken significant styling cues from the Brutale.

    Nope, they don't do it for me. Not when theres plenty of others out there that look better, as to whether they go better, I'll have to wait and see. But I would rather have a Super Duke than one of them.
    "I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    They're selling them with those exausts?!!!
    God, the aftermarket suppliers will love them, good luck seeing one riding round with the stock system.

    The headlight looks damn nice though.
