I was lost but now I知 found

Not a new member but this seemed as good a place to post. I’ve not owned a Monster for several years, sidetracked to a 749 then a scrambler. I’ve returned to my roots and bought an 18 year old Monster 620sie. 5000 miles on the clock. I’m back to a full smile whilst riding! It’s yellow like my avatar but that is an 800, why did I sell it????

hahaha I could easily say that about quite a few bikes I've had over the years.

The 620 was a huge hike up from the old 600's though, I'm liking my S2R as with everything needs some upgrades

I'm exactly the same! Had S4R 2005 from 2012 until 2018, then traded it in for a Harley Davidson. Worst mistake in my biking life! Went back to Ducatis a year later, traded in the HD for the 2017 Ducati Supersport, but was missing the monster so much, bought a 2006 S4RS at the end of last year. Spent quite a few hours and quite a few coins on making it just right and have already put over 1,500 miles on it from Feb to May, then got a knee injury, so just getting back to it now Which is a lot for me. Kept the Supersport for now as it's a lot smoother and supposedly more reliable, but I think she'll have to go at some point as I don't ride her at all.

Welcome back Debbie,I still regret selling my 900 Dark to a friend but I had bought a S4RS on a whim so decided I didn't need two,still think I should've kept the 900.
