Well I've had the Monster 3 months and what a blast it's been , run in and it's as mad as a box of frogs !! So much torque mid range ,it so much fun . Just stick it in 3rd gear and twist the throttle it eats any road you can find . Now I need new tyres so 2000 miles including running in I love this mental bike . I think I'll save some money and buy two pairs at the same time cos I think I'll be back for some more before the summer ends .
