I have been looking for an addition to my garage and although the Streetfighter is out of my price range I would love one, i have also been looking at a Triumph street triple, good ones in my price range and are reliable. The main reason I am asking on here is that a mate has tempted me with his Monster S4r with the 998 engine, it is an 08 reg bike with low mileage and well looked after, unfortunately it is in the senna grey, I would prefer a red or white one but beggars can't be choosers, it is offered to me for £4,000 which seems a good deal, is it ? and are they a good bike to ride with possible long distance in mind.

Didn't realise i was on everyone's ignore list, surely there are Monster riders out there with an opinion.
Best to come on over to ukmoc if you want Monster owners opinions Senna models or look a likes usually make more money so I wouldn't spray it. Models that are currently experiencing a slight rise in prices are M900's and holding their value the S4RS. Sounds reasonable price to me if good condition. Ben (M900 in bits)
I owned a S4RS for five years. Mostly for short blasts with the occasional tour in Ireland and the south coast. Personally I found it uncomfortable for long distance use, having to stop for frequent refuelling did help with the circulation to my legs and arse. I moved on to a multistrada mile-eater, but have fond memories of that great looking/ sounding bike.
