I was at a local Duc dealership on saturday and was surprised at how friendly all the sales guys and owner was. We got to talking bikes and the owner showed me the Monsters they had left over from last year, but said I may be interested in the new 696. Said to go on line to take a peek. So I did. Maybe it's me, but the new Monster sorta looks like a Ducati XB. especially from the rear.

Wow...that tail light looks extremely familiar. And that rear tail section looks like a slimmed down Lightning version.

I do like those rear view mirrors. Buell needs to borrow that design for the Lightning.

I was at the IMS in Cleveland today. They had one and she's a looker. I had to wait a few moments to get a shot

Those front forks look familiar, too.

So too does the way the front fender bolts on to the forks......???
