Buying a Monster again after 23 years
Hi all,
I last had a great little tuned M600 in the late 90s that I sold at the time in the quest for more speed. Fast forward 23 years...I had recently arranged a test ride on an 821 Stripe (in the quest for more oomph over my Aprilia Shiver 750) but it sold before I could make it to the dealer.
As you do in lockdown - I was looking at bikes instead of working when I came across a 1200s, which definitely has a bit more go but was located in the Shetlands. So sensibly, I bought it sight unseen, I haven’t actually tried the current generation of Monsters but this one looked immaculate. I am now waiting for it to be shipped down to SW London like a five years old waiting for Christmas Day!
I’ll post some pics when it arrives.
Cheers
