Title: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: INFIDEL on February 13, 2010, 04:57:30 PM I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: SolidSnake3035 on February 13, 2010, 05:37:21 PM While I appreciate the versatility of the Hyper, I quite dislike the style of those.
Definitely the Monster. Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: justinrhenry on February 13, 2010, 05:38:56 PM i agree it comes down to styling. the monster just looks better.
Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: MAXdB on February 13, 2010, 06:10:13 PM ..free? Both!

Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: jerryz on February 13, 2010, 07:24:10 PM As i have two monsters it would be the hyper but its not a veratile bike due to its tiny fuel range but it is fun to ride.Sort of meag bar hopper on steroids.
Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: Adamm0621 on February 13, 2010, 07:26:32 PM I voted for the Monster but that's just because the Hyper is too tall for me. But since I just bought a 696 can I have the Hyper for free?
I think I need to change my vote. :P Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: INFIDEL on February 13, 2010, 07:48:32 PM The Hyper 796 has a lower seat . . . perhaps you want to change your vote ;D
Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: NorDog on February 13, 2010, 07:56:29 PM Both bikes have me looking elsewhere. Not interested in either, especially not the new Monsters. Just not my bag man.
Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: kopfjäger on February 13, 2010, 07:59:41 PM Hyper, free or not. No contest. ;)
Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: ManOrAstro-Man? on February 13, 2010, 08:58:33 PM Definitely the 696 for me.
Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: mattyvas on February 13, 2010, 10:39:15 PM For free Hyper, it would complement my Monster nicely.
But looking at both of them side by side, I'd ride the Monster every time. Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: hbliam on February 13, 2010, 10:41:39 PM If some of you guys rode a hyper you might change your mind. And with the cal cycleworks tank the 796 Hyper should be good for over 300 miles per tank.

And with the cal cycleworks tank the 796 Hyper should be good for over 300 miles per tank. thats amazing! I struggle to get over 80 miles per tank.. :( Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: Goat_Herder on February 13, 2010, 11:52:46 PM I'd take the Monster. They Hyper is cool but just not the right bike for me. I sit way too high to feel comfortable.
Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: superjohn on February 14, 2010, 04:41:29 AM Free, and only a choice between the two, I'd take the HM796. That may change if a used, previous generation monster were thrown in as an option.
Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: scott_araujo on February 14, 2010, 06:31:10 AM Monster. The Hyper 796 is cool and has a much better seat than most motards but has a small tank and probably ain't great on long freeway jaunts. The Monster is a little more versatile. But if I was going to get a second bike....
Scott Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: Slide Panda on February 14, 2010, 06:36:34 AM Well I've got a Monster that I don't plan to replace until it stops going. So hyper for me. Also the seat to tank junction on a 696 is, ahem, disagreeable to my build.
Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: Triple J on February 14, 2010, 07:59:15 AM Hyper...hands down. [thumbsup]

Gross. Neither are good for freeway jaunts.

Also the seat to tank junction on a 696 is, ahem, disagreeable to my build. [laugh]Already got a Monster, think I would go for the Hyper kind of like the idea of the whole urban/city attack thing. Was torn between a Hyper and a Monster when I bought mine so they still spark my curiosity. Though I have no idea what I would use it for to much for the city, to upright for the mountains. :-\ Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: Punx Clever on February 14, 2010, 11:45:23 AM hyper.
The 696 smashes my nuts just sitting on it. Can only imagine what would happen if i really needed my brakes. Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: junior varsity on February 14, 2010, 12:13:09 PM Been on a superbike before? The 696 is tame and gentle on the potatoes in comparison.
Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: DesmoDiva on February 14, 2010, 12:56:11 PM Hyper....
and boobies ;D Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: Punx Clever on February 14, 2010, 01:24:35 PM Been on a superbike before?

[/quote Nope... but one day when i get an 848... i learn to deal with it :p Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: duc_fan on February 15, 2010, 12:34:39 PM Monster, purely for range.
Hyper if I didn't care about going far, but want to have a helluva lot of fun doing it. Where I live the gas stations are 20+ miles apart... the short range of a Hyper means I'd get a lot of walking exercise. Work is a nearly 50-mile round trip, and there are no gas stops between Stevenson, WA and Bingen, WA. If CA-cycleworks makes an extended tank for the HM that brings the range up to 300 miles, then HM, hands down. Let the hooliganry commence! [evil] Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: scduc on February 15, 2010, 02:20:27 PM Hyper-then when the 10' multi come out I will have a 3-some.
Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: yotogi on February 15, 2010, 02:23:29 PM already have a better monster. :)
Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: DanTheMan on February 16, 2010, 04:06:43 AM Hyper but get the 1100.
Title: Re: If It Were Free Which Would YOU Choose Post by: Desmo Demon on February 16, 2010, 06:49:08 AM I'd go with the Hyper for two reason - 1) we already have a Monster, and 2) I think the Hyper would be a cool commuter/hooligan/play bike. I would also definitely get the larger Ca-Cycleworks tank for it.
Now, if I had the choice between Hypers, I'd have to go with an 1100S. ;D |
