Title: Debating Trading the Monster Post by: luckyslevin on June 29, 2010, 08:21:07 AM Hey guys I'm back! I wanted to take sort of a poll. I'm thinking about selling my S2R 800 and picking up a Hypermotard 1100S. But I'm not too sure how I feel yet. Any thoughts?
ps here's an older pic of my bike... new rizoma mirrors and DP folding turn signals aren't shown. (http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/GreenLanternLCD/S2R_at_SBU.jpg) thanks to glantern for the pic... he's the one who first spotted me and brought me to the forums [beer] Title: Re: Debating Trading the Monster Post by: Pakhan on June 29, 2010, 09:11:21 AM The motard is going to be a different feel, not only in power but seating position and center of gravity. I think try riding one before you trade and if it feels better go for it.

I love my S4RS, but must agree. I test rode an earlier model and fell in love, but also realize that if I owned that bike, I would probably injure myself cuz it's so much fun to ride. Title: Re: Debating Trading the Monster Post by: luckyslevin on July 03, 2010, 12:51:31 PM i never got to see your S4R CDAWG... looks like i might need to take another ride into the city [beer] yea working as a tech at the local KTM, i've seen way too many DRZ's and WR's to want one. Not the best craftsmanship... nothing like a nice Duc or KTM. The super duke is pretty insane, but I'm not a huge fan of the looks although I'd probably get a great deal on parts and service [evil]. I took the shop demo home for a weekend and got pulled over way out east in long island. (no ticket though [thumbsup]) From what I understand Michael Schumacher loves it too. Looks like I should take a demo rider on a HM to really figure it out. OR maybe a customer will be so nice as to let me ride it further than the shop parking lot, which is the only experience i've had on one :-\

They are very accommodating and near Bear Mt which will allow you to put it thru its paces. |
