Hili Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 there are pros and cons on this monster model iam a little disappointed of the frame. Official site is also up http://www.ducati.com/bikes/monster/index.do can compare the normal and S model 135hp vs 145hp + oehlins and better brakes. Pricing will be interesting.

yankee99 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 With the nice metal tank fuel will most likely not be a issue.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky33 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Will it be assembled in Thailand? It looks great to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaicbr Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 metal fuel tank... what happened to the super light weight plastic tanks???????????? ohhh i remember they melted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hili Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 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!

Overandout Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 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.

ll2 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 to be frank, liked the stylish metal protector on the header below the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how they do in the reliability category? 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
