I had been wanting a naked sport bike, or something like that, I just really wan't sure what I wanted.  I had a Concours, and a small Suzuki sport bike, but they just didn't fit the bill.  I live in Mississippi, and just don't see many Ducatis around here, I didn't even know what a Monster was.  I was told that the nearest dealer is Birmingham, AL.  But anyway, I found this one, and really enjoy riding it, its actually more comfortable than I had thought, and it handles great.  What a nice little bike!

The bike hadn't been run in a few years, and I'm having some issues with it, but I think I will really like this bike once I get everything straightened out.

I should also say that I have been around motorcycles for a while, had several different cruisers, now own an 06 Goldwing, Magna 750(which the wife is moving up to soon, hence the Monster is its replacement), and a KLR 650.  We only ride the Goldwing when traveling.  The Goldwing handles well enough, but riding a cruiser is like driving a battleship.  I just needed something different, so the Monster is the answer!  [thumbsup]

Welcome, congrats on the new addition.  [moto] 

Good luck getting your mechanical issues sorted out, I see you've already been asking the experts on the Tech board, hopefully they will be able to help you get up and going shortly. [thumbsup]

Welcome!  What part of missip?  I spent '07 in Jackson(actually Brandon), and currently ride a KLR650.  Wish I had the KLR in missip, would have been lots of fun riding the trails out there.

I live in Grenada, its on I55, 100 miles north of Jackson.  The KLR is my favorite bike for now.  The Monster may displace it though!
