Looks awesome ,I bet it's a hoot to ride

[C00kiemonster]

I like that. Expensive?

[duke63]

No info yet on price. I doubt it will be cheap though.

[C00kiemonster]

Sadly that's the problem. There is loads of cheaper very good competition. Nice bike, but a premium brand that's for sure.

[duke63]

No they don't come cheap. Most of their bikes do hold their value very well though.

Its still nigh on impossible to get an 1199 Panigale for less than £10k.

Think I prefer the streetfighter

[Blade]

I do and this is not a true monster imo this is a street fighter trying to look like a monster if that makes sense.

Monsters are more about being cool than performance. I m probably a minority but Ducati lost there way with the monster range when they changed to liquid cooled engines.

[Kwacky]

I agree. They need to keep the Monster apart from the sports range.

Certainly goes round corners well
