Is there supposed to be a link, or pic or something?
I'm assuming you're talking about the new Monster?

'05 Pitster Pro 125 - Pitbike madness
Be polite. Be professional. But be prepared to kill everyone you meet.
"Motorcycles tell us a more useful truth: we are small and exposed, and probably moving too fast for our own good, but that's no reason not to enjoy every minute of the ride."
~Dave Karlotski
Not the monster, but a stripped down 1098. $15k for the base and $19k for the S according to Motorcyclist mag. S has fancy suspenders, traction control and carbon "stuff".
To be honest I can't decide if I love it or hate it.
It confuses me for some reason.... it's kinda all over the place.
OK, I hate it, but would buy one.
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet.
the only thing I dont like is the exhaust. I would rather see it undertail or dual exhaust on both sides of the bike. Other than that it's a great looking bike. I would never say no to riding it
Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.
i would sex it.
mayo....
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain."

I agree. It looks like they took the fairings off the 1098 and made it legal again by putting a headlight back on.
Definitely not as clean as some (most?) of the other naked bikes around, including the new monster. I'd also like to buy one cause it looks really naughty

Nice-lookin' bike. For me, the Bimota DB7 is still the best.

I think Ducati phoned it in on this one... took the 1098 and an MV Augusta Brutale and breed them.
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
I generally don't like naked bikes except for the Speed and Street Triple, but DAMN is that thing sexy.

Wish they could have done something different with the fluid resevoirs on the handle bars straight up top in plain view. And what's with the wasp-winged mirrors?

I'm liking the "evil eyes" in the headlight cluster... replace them with red LEDS.
