I like the headlight but the belly bulge looks crap!

I can see they have tried to make that belly come Honda crunch with broken leg shields like preying mantis front legs.

I don't like it .... It's visual noise on what should be clean lines.

As for the wheels it's a mobile migraine .
Big thumbs down sorry

Exactly....on both counts.

The front bits just contradict the "engine as the frame" DNA of a monster.
Worse still, they hide the lovely, curvy headers.
.....and in so doing, they probably make the engine run a lot hotter too.

I disliked it, without really realising what it started out as.
And then I realised that if they'd bought the black one and left it alone (other than to replace the cans), they would've had a gorgeous 1100 evo.

And I'd go the other way with the headlamp, and put a round one on.

Love it! Monsters I find arn't about following the norm. Doing your own thing to a monster and modding it till your happy with it, I'm really into extreme modded bike so me liking this is no real surprise.

Different strokes for different folks! I do also like the wheels.

Hear, Hear!

I think the number plate is the best bit.

I really like how square and number platey it is, even without numbers on it.

It's a shame the rest of the bike lets it down though by concentrating on form over function.

Do you think they would look better if they were squarer too: more like the number plate?

It could help unite the concept of angularity by carrying the theme through the bike?
