However, it is WAYYYY down on power. It's too bad they don't make the larger monsters in that color scheme. I would get on of the testastrettas if I were ever going to get a monster.

I rode the RS a couple of weeks ago, and it was amazing... almost got booted off the demo ride for lofting the front wheel under power... dumbydome 11-11-2007, 10:46 AM I rode the RS a couple of weeks ago, and it was amazing... almost got booted off the demo ride for lofting the front wheel under power... Hate to thread jack, but maxx what you do for a living. You are my idol! All these bikes, pics, etc etc. You must have quite the entertaining life my friend. MaxxxEdge 11-11-2007, 02:20 PM My current responsibilities lie mostly in IT, however, I consult in several other industries which provide me the opportunity to travel, and be around bikes and beautiful women. Most of the really cool bike hookups are a direct result of a friend of mine who is very well connected in the industry. A lot of it wouldn't happen if it weren't for him... dumbydome 11-11-2007, 03:13 PM Lucky bastard! Why cant my friends have hookups like this. "Ohh damn i get to go be around more ducati's and girls". It must be so taxing! Paytheon 11-11-2007, 03:30 PM I like the 848 better. That's one sexy looking bike! MaxxxEdge 11-11-2007, 03:33 PM I like the 848 better. That's one sexy looking bike! Entirely different kind of bike... you can start out on a 696 Monster... wouldn't recommend starting on a 848 Paytheon 11-11-2007, 03:45 PM Entirely different kind of bike... you can start out on a 696 Monster... wouldn't recommend starting on a 848 Well, I've owned many different bikes ranging from 600 to liters. I would hope I'm smart enough to handle that 848, but you never know. LOL. It's a sweet machine! MaxxxEdge 11-11-2007, 03:50 PM Well, I've owned many different bikes ranging from 600 to liters.

You've ridden for a while... the comment obviously wasn't meant for you... fyrefyter0143 11-11-2007, 04:36 PM i love my ducati monster...its only a 620, not very torquey as the R6 but very comfortable in taking long trips thats for sure. slam 11-19-2007, 12:31 PM i love all the monsters, but i like the last generation better MaxxxEdge 11-19-2007, 12:33 PM The RS is still one of my faves... :fact RowdyRods 11-19-2007, 12:59 PM I think it looks very sharp. I wonder what it sounds like? wshekari06r6 11-19-2007, 01:06 PM The RS is still one of my faves... :fact +1 s4rs are sweet. MaxxxEdge 11-19-2007, 01:52 PM If Ducati follows what they have done traditionally, someday we will see the 2nd gen Monster with a 1098 Testastretta motor... :nocontrol 01BlueAndWhite 12-30-2007, 07:23 AM How dare you put those thoughts in my head! That would be completely insane. Thinking of trading in for an 848 when I get home...but I just spent a grip on an all carbon body for the 748...guess we will see... Speedfreak_x77 12-30-2007, 03:28 PM looks pretty decent not too bad .. dubbedown 01-07-2008, 05:57 AM i personally like the older style monsters more. the monsters have always been ducati's best selling bike and stale reviews pressured ducati to come up with a new refreshed look. it's definitely different but i think it lost too much of its classic touch that made it unique to begin with. 35374 01-07-2008, 09:55 PM I kinda like it. I think with some aftermarket cans on it and that thing would look pretty good. :love Jet BLUE 01-11-2008, 12:26 PM http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/th.45eaed4e86.jpg (http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?45eaed4e86.jpg) http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/th.7b3cd30cf6.jpg (http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?7b3cd30cf6.jpg) dubbedown 01-14-2008, 10:19 AM http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/th.45eaed4e86.jpg (http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?45eaed4e86.jpg) http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/th.7b3cd30cf6.jpg (http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?7b3cd30cf6.jpg) the 848 in a monster thread? :poke smoove gp 03-05-2008, 03:18 PM I've seen it in the flesh... here it is... is that you on the bike? MaxxxEdge 03-05-2008, 03:22 PM is that you on the bike? Last time I checked, I was a guy... but I'll check again... a lot has happened since this morning... :lmao CJr605 04-10-2008, 12:44 PM i dont like it @all..tank looks cheap .maybe it'll look better in person but here it is. maybe the prices on the older one will drop and i can get a second bike! :) http://www.ducati.com/en/bikes/my2008/Monster/M696-08/presentation/index.html No way!
