Christian Audigier stikes again with special edition Ducati Monster

As if the tattoo'ed Lamborghini Murcielago which Audigier created with Edo Competition – which in turn spawned the Ferrari F430 Calavera imitator – wasn't enough, he's set upon another exquisite piece of Italian exotica to tarnish: the Ducati Monster. Starting with the 1100cc superbike, Audigier and his partners at Rever Corsa have laid down some sort of dragon-tiger thing over a particularly gaudy red and gold paint scheme. This limited edition crotch rocket commands a $55,000 price tag, proving once again that money and taste don't always go hand in hand.

Is this bike mechanically improved over the Stock Ducati? So, he is no better than that pompous ass Castro of Unique Autos? this is just paint and decals? This is auto news?

What's wrong with a designer made bike? Christian Audigier makes fashionable stuff, and now we get a very fashionable bike. Very cool to rock with my other ed hardy gear. maybe they should have an ed hardy helmet too? either way, I am totally going to buy this.
NOT.

It looks like someone ate a salmonella tainted Gold Leaf Lotus F-1 car from the sixties and promptly threw up several times, - this being one puddle of it........

somebody should create a custom bike like this based on the new yamaha v-max. That thing is a beast . . . 1800cc 200hp.

I actually like red and gold but this is just terrible. Not because of the color scheme but because the design is just random crap thrown together. It's schizophrenic and has ADHD all at once.

I'll pass on this styling. Give this bike a flat black paint job all around, & I'll bet it sells more than this design/scheme.

And oh yeah Autoblog, a Monster is NOT a superbike...

Seems like a steep price and a little over the top... It's amazing how quickly he moved from designing cloths to cars. His Smart car artwork is ridiculously gaudy but I do like the Christian Audigier Lamborghini Murcielago: http://www.sub5zero.com/auto-news/edo-competition-lamborghini-marcielago-lp-710-audigier
