[Mr. Whippy]

I like the old Monster's alot better hell look at the new Suzuki Gladius and you'll be hard pressed to tell if its a monster or a Suzuki.  Ducati FAIL

Spot on.  My thoughts 'zactly.

I dunno...I would have to see it in person. I agree with the "cheap" looking comments though. It kinda looks feminine to me.

   Come again?

Whenever a new "your manufacturer here" bike comes out, there are always those that say the old one looks better...
I love the way the old Monster looks.  I love the way the new Monster looks.  I don't think the Buell looks anything like it, but I also dig the way the Buell looks!

Buell got the industrial look right - long before there were Confederates. I just don't appreciate the new Monster. Love the old ones though.

Looks like Ducati borrowed some styling cues from Buell.

They borrowed more from the Triumph Speed3. I don't see much Buell in it at all. Mostly, its a Duc, with a bunch of cool components.

You know, I noticed that, but just couldn't bring myself to even think it.

Buells look like Sears catalogue in-line skates.  And now, so does the Monster.
