PROPER Monster! Nice to see that there is a following and appreciation for these bikes over and above the newer offerings. Glad you like it and why wouldn't you? It's one of the most fun bikes you will ever ride. Congratulations.
That’s a lovely looking machine Mark, congratulations. Hopefully see it out and about at next years TT.
Nearly bought one a couple of years back, but bought a triumph Bonneville instead knew it a mistake , so disappointed with it got on the monster and I’m still grinning
I am of the same opinion, why didn’t I buy a Monster before, I have a modest 06 695 model which I love, apart from the restricted steering lock, I could have saved myself a lot of money buying bikes I thought would suit me, or fancied one then found out I didn’t like it Doh!
FYI, I picked up a 2nd hand seat for £30 and then got it recovered by an upholsterer complete with an extra 1” of padding at the front to raise the seat height for me. Red stitching on the seat pad, tricolore stitching around the edges. That cost £125.
