Title: Monster 800 worked OK for a short tour...... Post by: victor441 on October 11, 2009, 07:16:53 PM bought my bike a month ago as an all rounder and figured it would work well for sport touring with soft bags since it has low pipes...worked great on a weekend trip with a fair amount of gear and plan to do some more ambitious trips...also FWIW another rider suggested using a dry bag for camping gear, that worked out really well and made strapping all my stuff to the bike much easier.

[thumbsup] [thumbsup] Thanks!...I only took a few photos, just a short trip up to Mt. Lassen and back, but the bike ran well up at 8000 ft. (aside from a few minor backfires) and had plenty of power to keep up w/ other riders |
