Now that I have spent time here and listened to the chatter back and forth about the reliability of Ducati's, I have come to the conclusion that I just want one. Ducati's have character and have been on my wish list for years.
Here is my question. Do I wait for the Hypermotard? Or... Do I buy a Monster? I love both and cannot decide. Wait for the HM? Or go for a Monster - tried and True.

Kind of a tough question to answer .... I'd say ride them both, and decide what you like, but I guess you can't really ride the HM yet. So go ride a Monster, and see how you feel.

Real tough to say. The monster has a great style, a fantastic air-cooled motor, a nice riding position, and plenty of parts you can bolt on to "make it yours".
The HM isn't here yet.
easy to test-ride a monster, tough to test-ride an HM
I am leaning towards the purchase of a Monster. Don't want to waste the entire summer of riding waiting for a bike that may or may not arrive. I am on the List for the HM. I will probably keep it that way. When it comes in, beg and plead with the wife to get a second bike!!!
What's the pricing like in the US? Over here, the Monster S4R price is half way between the HM and the HM'S' - now to me the S4R is a LOT more bike for your money than a Hypermotard - I mean I like the HM looks too, but under the skin it's really a Multistrada with 100cc more oomph.If I was in your shoes I'd get the S4R.
