Well, nice to know Rossi's mother owns a Monster and sometimes pops a wheelie.

Don't think there will be a serious price reduction!!! Whoever thinks it's going to be around 5-6 lacs may end being very disappointed!

It is because this bike will be assembled in Thailand and then brought to India which will make it cheaper. |

Frankly, I have been enamoured by the monster since I first saw it in the bangalore showroom about a month back and everything paled in comparison, at least in the category. The specs of the new Monster aimed at the Asian market haven't been scaled down, but I am disappointed with the tyres, the fat ones looked awesome. and the new handlebar is chromed, a bit odd. I dont think the price will just halve because of anything, but my guess is around 7 lakh which seems possible and still a big cut from the approx. 10 lakh for the 796.
I wouldn't mind paying up for a Ducati, but I hate the fact that I have to pay enough tax which could have bought me another one ...or been the down payment for the upgrade .Another related and slightly off-topic question: Do you think this Monster would be a good first big-bike? |
