After a year of owning a cruiser in Chicago I've come to see the error of my wayward ways, and will be trading her in for a Monster 796 in about a month. I'm completely sold on the new bike, except for the RED frame, which will look terrible with the 'dharma' logomania kit I've been eyeing...
Other than that, excited to join the forum, learn more about these bikes, and turn the page on just going loudly in a straight line and then having to balance 700 pounds every time I try to park...
sweet i actually bought the ducati monster 1100 to complement what my Triumph Thunderbird doesn't do, you wont be disappointed
