Monster paint schemes you'll either love or hate.

These are particularly offensive to me, sorry if it's your pride and joy, I was bored, but really?

I can maybe live with the green, but the brown and orange? Wtf were they thinking?

This one just does not suit, is the best thing to say. Red socks is like a bad m/c accessory added for the sake of it, please stop, it's too much.

You must be really bored Darren?

Your comments are just plain rude.

I don't find either of them at all offensive.

There are a couple of bits on the second one that aren't to my taste, the Red reservoir covers and LED Headlight for example.

But that's just personal choice really.

If I remember correctly, the white one was more subtle when it was first built.
The red front mudguard, tricolour seat cowl and other red trinkets are (I think) later additions.
When first built it was one of my favourite colour schemes.

Actually, on closer inspection, the white one's not the bike I thought it was...

But the first one's definitely 'Eric'.

Ah yes, I think I made the same mistake about the white one.

Yep, realised that, the listing is just for the headlight.
Shame, because I'd have liked to see some better images of the bike.

I like both of those bikes -lots of thought, lots of work and a great individual look which to me is part of the appeal of Classic Monsters.

anyone know what dash/clocks are fitted to the white one? (which i quite like btw) i like how just removing the instruments makes the whole front of the bike appear lower and cleaner.
