Hi there, My name is Nigel and I wish to be known as wumperdude but being a Forum virgin I have yet to work out how to put this on my threads (is that the correct term?). I currently ride an 04 Monster S4R which I am considering changing for a '97 748 which is the reason for joining because while looking for information on a potential purchase, I came across the bike on the Forum and decided to join to find out more. That was really lucky as I was able to find out that the previous owner was a member. The S4R is a great bike but not such a relaxing ride as it is a little too powerful for my advancing years. Yes I know the 748 will probably require a permanent chiropractor, but will be buying more as investment and will only ride for short trips, probably! I live in Mid-Wales, a very rural location, but great for riding as there is very little traffic.

I also have an 04 s4r and have just bought a 749 so while I can't comment on an exact match I can get reasonably close. The S4r will almost certainly be more relaxing to ride , the 749 only really seems to be happy at relatively high speed and really is much less comfortable. Don't let me put you off the 748 though but maybe keep the monster too if you can.
