The original MHR had had the colours split horizontally so I don't think it matters

Martin should sell the R1 and get on of these to go with the monster - It's a DIY modified Sport Classic

It will be more interesting when its run in, and the new exhaust is fitted, as the demo i took out had me grinning

So now you understand the virtues of a lightweight motorcycle.

No point having a lightweight bike if you're not a lightweight yourself, that's why I don't bother!

I love that bike you put up GT.

A lightweight motorcycle will handle more responsively regardless of the riders weight, uksurfers post is testement to that.

Hey, Martin, well done for getting a 796 - I like the colour scheme; is that one of the Logomania ones? My 696 has just had her first annual service! Time flies on a Monster...

I realise how it works Stu, it's just the effect is not quite the same when you are over 100kgs! Loosing weight from the wheels and unsprung weight have the best effect then.

Well I really see no point in spending a small fortune on making a bike shed some kilo's and being lighter, if the rider doesn't think about doing the same thing aswell .!.

I quite like the Sport Classic look aswell at the moment, so GT's picture above looks mega..
