$4500 for a M750, that's about $500 less that Kelly Blue Book retail value.

is that too much?

i guess im wondering cause i paid the same for mine. mine is the same year, same model, ect. At the time though, there were NO monsters to be found for sale for months and i was getting desperate..... [roll]

It's probably just right. He could definitely do prospective buyers a favor to mention that it is a 750, not just a 'Monster', however. Heh. I imagine some folks that can't tell the difference could be annoyed at the fact that they don't know how many cubes it has.

Kewl bike, reasonable price (assuming some things)... crappy ad.  Needs to be more informative, like, oh, listing the engine displacement.  [roll]

On a side note, I love that paint scheme... I saw a 1999 M900S while I was out in Iowa with the same pattern, but it was white stripe over red.  Same classic logos.  Almost bought that bike, but I'd have had to get a ride to Kansas City, MO, and ride back to Cedar Rapids on a bike I wasn't familiar with.  I also didn't even know whether a Monster would fit.
