Ello from Akron

Hello Lads!

Just thought I'd pop in and say hello. I'm a newbie for sure. I'm out doing some winter shopping and have my heart set on a Monster. It seems the economy is bad enough that I have many preowned to choose from. I thought its a good idea to get in here and read as much as I can before I make a good buy!

Cheers!

Welcome to the DMF and good luck with your bike shopping!

Make sure you check out our Monsters for Sale forum, if you have any general questions about any of the models or what to look for when shopping, feel free to post up in General.

Any ideas which model you're looking for?

You do have a local group, OMHA, you might also want to post up in there but they don't seem to be very active.

Best of luck again and keep us posted.

well, I have now bought my first Duc...

having been screwed in so many ways over the last month over buying a Monster, I was about to throw in the towel and buy a Triumph. I've had prices changed on me due to "interest on the bike", deposits refunded and sellers just disappearing in the middle o questioning...Been 20 minutes late a few times too...

If you told me what I bought while I was shopping, I wouldn't have believed you. I was sure I wanted an S2R...

I ended up with a 99 750....for about 1/3 of the going rate of the 05s that I looked at. All stock but the few bits of clear lenses and the Forza mufflers...13K miles. I paid well under $3k.

Its a good place to start I suppose. I'm still a new rider at 36 years old...We'll see if it sticks!

Congrats, the M750 is a very nice bike!   We'd love to see pictures when you get a chance.
