scoobyrex27, that Monster is SICK!!!!!!! :dance:
guess teaching jobs pay better than i thought....hmmm.
i am considering getting one. thinking of selling my R1. i dont take it to the track enough and i want bit more comfort now. again, your bike is one of the nicest ones i've seen.

ps, question, i am so use to the fuel injection. yours is a carb right? my old gixxer was carb and gave me some hesitation. how about yours? and ducati's clutch that stiff? i've heard some bad things about the clucth, only the clutch.

Thanks kajita.

I don't have many bad things to say about this bike. I have not had a problem with the carbs. I run a stage one kit and some beefy wires with iridium plugs and just foam air filter pods (no airbox). Mixture is good and it runs great. Nice sound too!!

This bike does it all and is much nicer to ride around town, more comfortable position than my friends r6.

The clutch can get tiring but I have a smaller front sprocket so it is good at low, parking lot speeds and I will eventually get a new clutch slave cylinder to make it easier.

Best thing about this bike is the sound. It is a tough choice in the morning: Boxster or Monster?

My one and only bike is a 1968 Triumph Bonneville. Paid $800 for it in 1973, rode it from MN to Nova Scotia in September of that year - no fairing, no electric start. Had no other transportation for a couple of years, then got married, etc. etc. So now it's in long term storage waiting for a cash infusion and some uninterrupted time to rebuild it.
BTW, it could do 0-60 in 5 flat which is what the 987S (which gets delivered this week) is supposed to do, 30 years wait... Gawd, am I old!!

Shift - They're beautiful. Here's a little vintage contrast. I knew I still had a picture of it...


I had fun building this up. BSA Gold Star 500cc single. One time, I was living in an apartment bulding along the river in Detroit and would sneak it up the passenger elevator to my fourth floor apartment. I think every apartment should have fine art whether on the floor or wall.
