here is an especially nice one: http://www.turn2motorcycles.com/Vehicle/location-Portland-Oregon-carsforsale/50862/2009-DUCATI-M1100-S-Monster-295-Flat-Rate-Shipping.aspx (http://www.turn2motorcycles.com/Vehicle/location-Portland-Oregon-carsforsale/50862/2009-DUCATI-M1100-S-Monster-295-Flat-Rate-Shipping.aspx) Title: Re: thinking about getting the monster 796. Post by: Stormtrooper on October 23, 2013, 01:31:21 PM I would go for the 1100 - an 1100S preferably. Don't get me wrong, I love my 796 - it's super light, makes a great city bike and the power is very usable and never overwhelming. But it could use another 20hp. I feel the 1100 is under powered too but its closer to the sweet spot IMO. The 2014s water pumpers should address this short coming [thumbsup]
If your in Socal this is a pretty sweet deal --> http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/mcy/4138971593.html (http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/mcy/4138971593.html) |
