I know a lot of the riders here think the new monsters are an abomination, a55 ugly hoses hanging out the left side.  A look only a blind person could love.  Know what, I don't give a sheet!  My main reason for buying the bike wasn't to stand and look at it parked on the sidestand.  The bike runs great, no coughing, spitting, farting and jerking when ridden around town.  Then when the road opens up the torque is addictive, and the fun doesn't stop when the tach hits 8,000 RPM.   Maybe the full Termi exhaust and tuner makes a real difference, I can't say since I never rode the bike with the stock tune and exhaust.  Sure my old 1100 was lighter and transitions were probably a little easier/quicker but I doubt I'll notice that much difference, my name isn't Carl (as in Fogerty).  The comfort is also a step ahead IMHO but I am an old phart at 60 years.

Thanks to those that have welcomed me back.

My only complaint so far (and it is minor) is the stock footpeg brackets but I said the same thing about my 1100.  I cured the issue on the 1100 with rearsets.  Time will tell if I do the same to the new bike.
