Hi and welcome
With doggy knees i know how you feel, the best i managed on sport bike was an hour at best, managed 700miles in 7 1/2 hours 2 years ago (rush down to Spain to see my son) on 900 monster. The riding position allows you to move about if you feel a bit cramped up.

Never had a bike that was as much fun and allowed you to walk afterwards

Hi I am 5-11 and have no problems,would recomend a gel seat if doing long runs and maybe a small screen(i only fit my screen for long/motorway runs) but for short(under 1hr) runs its fine.
owned a 620 and now have a 900ie and a 750ss all great and the monsters never fail to make me smile.

last june i bought the cheapest monster on biketrader.
It was 14000 mile 1997 M600 in yellow for £1500 and it was from a dealer.

I couldnt believe how cheap it was. Cheshire salvage sell damaged ones for more.

I've been expecting major issues with it. But have inly had to change the pulse coils.

This is great news!! Right I'm off to look at a 900 today, it's a 1995 so will that be the big valve?
