Only because it says so on the MSO.  :-*

I still haven't warmed up to the new gen Monster.
Hmmm... Maybe stop looking at it and try riding one?  8)

Closest thing in the line I could find which more or less handled like my tuned 600 SL but without the ergos for 30-year-old.  ;D Only wish my 796 were as smooth. No doubt coin I can't spare would fix that...

Why would I do that?

I have a Monster that looks like I want it to...one with a full trellis frame and a steel fuel tank.

One that has an Ohlin's rear and racetech modified front...

and one that will run on 87 octane.

Get serious...seriously.

Lately I've been thinking it was dumb to part with my '94 M900 back in '08. It was becoming needy, but.....

i wouldn't mind a harley like this



too bad you can't buy them at the dealer, seems like plenty of guys make them in their garages.
