Hello and welcome. Ditto the comments above, I wish you the very best of luck with your treatment.
Just thought I would add my perspective to this. I had sportsbikes all my riding life, my first bike was a ZX-6R which I bought before I'd even passed my test, and around the time I hit 45 my body decided for me that I needed to change the style of bike I was riding, or just give up riding altogther. The only bike that really 'did it' for me in terms of styling was the Monster, and although I wasn't sure which one I wanted I ended up with a little 696+. My mates thought I was a bit mad going to a bike with 'only' 80 horses, but let me tell you it's such a lot of fun to ride! Anyway, the point to all this is don't think you're missing out on anything if you don't buy the most powerful bike out there. Personally I think the air cooled bikes look much better, and I would imagine that for a new rider the 696 is forgiving enough, although it'll be quite different to the 4pot CB500 or whatever your riding school gives\gave you . It's definitely not a handful though. Super light controls are a bonus too. My suggestion would be to ride a few different models (if you can find them!) and I think you'll know pretty quickly which one is for you. |

Fellas........the response to my joining has been fantastic and for that I thank you all. The plan is to pass my Direct Access test by July, treatment and health withstanding,then purchase my much lusted after Monster between the end of July and early August. Thereby allowing me time to get use to riding it and to make any changes to the styling......I do love the look with clip one. Of course you all realize that you will all be part of this process as the font of your combined knowledge is huge and I will be plunging head first into it regularly...........thank you all once again....Jennoe.
