Hello everyone

It has been a while without posting anything.. for a reason. I craved for a Monster since the 90s and finally in 2008 I managed to get a beautiful used Monster 750 dark. Full of joy and hapiness, I enjoyed for a couple of months until, oh dear, the recession hit and I was made redundant. This forced me to sell the bike and I have not had a Monster since then. I am glad to say that professionally, I have managed to get my career back not to the level I was before but even much better so I am now on the hunt again for a Monster. Luckily, I am a bit better financially so I could consider a new bike.

So hello back to everyone and see you around.

Joan

There are a lot of nearly new, low mileage monsters for sale out there for a lot less money. They also often come ready fitted with bling like exhausts, billet parts, carbon etc.. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...ge/1?logcode=p

Don`t buy new, it`s a mugs game........having said that I am glad there are plenty of mugs about otherwise the used bikes would dry up. Good luck in your search.

Cost wise yes, you save a lot buying used but there is no feeling like driving (or riding) out of the showroom on your very own, never been used before, brand new machine!
