I'm aware. Just sighing in general. Sat on William's S2R yesterday. Sounded soooo pretty.

Were you riding cupcake with him?

Storm Cycle still had that Black '06 SC 1000 a few weeks ago, 3K miles, $5800. Granted a salvage title and no red key but all it needed is a headlight glass. The headlight/speedo mount was broke but could be easily rigged I thinks. If it's still there, he's had it for a few months.

Check earlier in this thread, someone already mentioned it.

Also, check my reply. I need an 07 or 08 for the 2up style seat.

Thanks though. 

Yeah, I keep forgetting the newer Sport Classic bikes have wet clutches. I guess Jim's, Scott's and mine are the last of the line around here. I knew I was on the soon to be extinct list but I didn't know my bike was too!

Hey lookie

Damn, a whole page of discussion on it to boot. How'd I miss that? Man, I wanted that bike.

but if you do get a 620, get some nice clipons and cafe it out....  Lisa's look's awesome, but she is about to butcher it back to comfortable   Of course, even afterward, it will still be a killer bike.  Very fun to ride, and the powerband is deceptive, especially with a great set of pipes on it.

Still, I'm liking the SC1000s, don't know why they are going for so cheap, but i'd take advantage of it.  The dual spark air cooled 1000s are very fun, and the look of the SCs is all cafe.... 

Dude, I'm not going to butcher it,

Randy is 

But yeah, Joseph brought up a good point - a Monster of any vintage has so many after-market totally trick parts that I'm fairly certain crack would probably be cheaper in the long run.

MONSTER!  You know you want to

Foul temptress!

Yes, the S2R looks/sounds mighty tempting. Though it'll be fun to have a bike that stands out completely from all of you hooligans.

If only it had the dry clutch...sigh.

Seriously consider the 2006 SC1000.  Dry clutch.  Monoposto, true.  But how often are you REALLY gonna be riding two up?  And if it's that often, get her a monster and you an SC1000!

Finally, if you really must have room for a passenger, there are a few people who have successfully converted their 2006 into a biposto using a seat and cowl from an 07/08.  Total cost under $500, plus some fabrication for passenger pegs.  Otherwise, not that difficult to do.  I've wanted to do it for some time, I just can't find a biposto for "the right price" to entice me into actually starting the project.

Hey, all our Monsters look different. If you leave yours stock we will all poke fun at you until you change something and make you park away from our bikes. Seriously, I know you're hot for the SC1000 but leave your mind open to the S2R line up. As I have said before, as good as the Sport 1000s are they haven't sold very many, regardless of the year/model. There are tons of S2R 800 and 1000s out there and a TON of parts. You could hold all the aftermarket parts for SC1000s in both hands... and still have room for your keys and sunglasses. Again, the S2R bikes will solve the two up crisis and you can pop the seat cowl back on and unbolt the passenger pegs for the cool loner solo look in about two minutes. [moto] I am lucky to have both bikes but if I was in your situation I'd be leaning Monster. You can't loose either way!

Strange that you mentioned this tonight. I just got an email from the guy who's bike I'm drooling over in Santa Fe. It's a Sport 1000, yellow, PERFECT condition. I asked if it was an 07 or 08, turns out it's an 06...

Umm, exactly what would that entail...

Maybe someone's being a wee impatient?!?

I won't argue with that. I'm really excited to get a bike, but whether I'm wait around or not I keep running into this mutually exclusive situation.

I want:
1 - Sport 1000
2 - biposto
3 - dry clutch.
Basically, I'm allowed 2 of the 3 things. I can have 1 and 2, but not 3. I can have the 1 and 3, but not 2. And I can have 2 and 3, but not 1 (SR2).

I actually spoke with the wifey last night who told me she really didn't care if I got a monoposto, but I think it'd be fun to be able to carry her on it occasionally. It really comes down to what I'm willing to give up. OR I look at converting the '06 Sport 1000 to a biposto. Anyone ever seen one of these mythical beasts?

Get the monoposto, you want to the solo seat time before you start 2up riding.  2 up really changes the way the balance of the bike

I agree with B8. Quite frankly, I have never liked riding two up that much. In 1989 my first wife and I rode two up on a Kawi Concours all over the Alps for over three weeks. Great trip... no, f'ing awesome trip... but I spent every single moment wishing I was solo on the bike. Just do what I did, scare the living shit out of your wife so bad she will NEVER get on a bike again. There, problem solved. Now, go get that '06 SC1000.
