Hello to all.  I am joining the site because I have my eyes in a Monster at a local dealer and wanted to join the forum to learn a little.  I have been riding for 3 years and am 37 years old.  Got started a little late.  Right now I ride a gsxr 600.  So thanks for having me.

welcome to the board. make sure and check out the "tech' section if you have any specific questions about the bike you are looking at. the folks over there will treat you right. if the bike is used, ask about maintenance...especially the belts and 12k service.

Welcome. I am sure you will enjoy the forum, and get all the information you need.

Yep - when it comes down to decision time post your selection in the tech or general sections and hear what folks have to say. Lots of times deals tend to over price - but some times they will have great deals as someone traded in a bike with all sorts of farkles and the dealer doesn't realize.

Good luck on your hunt.
