Maybe thats why the new monster isnt really lightweight its 209kg! Another disappointment for me. Well most interesting thing for us if it will be assembled locally and sold at a fair price.... looks promising due the motor is quite similar to the diavel motor. Well Let's see!

--Ducati's new-for-2014 Monster 1200 has been voted "Most Beautiful Bike on Show" on the closing day of the EICMA International Motorcycle Show in Milan.

--Powered by the Superbike-derived 1198 Testastretta engine, re-tuned for mid-range power and rideability, the new flagship of the Monster family combines a completely new frame with high-spec brakes and suspension, single-sided swing-arm and lightweight wheels, with relaxed ergonomics, including Ducati's first height-adjustable seat.

Do the italian bikes always win? I wonder how they do in the reliability category?

Its lovely...

Except for that stupid cowling around what I assume is the oil cooler.

If I were rich enough to buy one I would paint that black. What Ducati should have done IMHO is fit a longer belly pan cowling that extends back, below the exhaust and covering the sump, that would look much better as a colour coded item.

They mostly win the beauty contest. Hey, they are the most beautiful bikes!

I don't think that there is a reliability contest but a Jap bike would most probably win that one with Ducati in a close second spot!
