Hi All!

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself

I'm from London England and currently own a MV Agusta F4 750. I've been riding for around 7 years now having previously owned a gsxr 600 and a honda nsr 125.

I'm looking to sell my MV and get a used monster for more everyday riding.
I stumbled across this site when researching the two monsters I've got my eye on, namely the 695 and the 796!
I really like the look of the 695 and I'm told that it is not too difficult to work on.
The 796 meanwhile is the newer bike and seems like it has a better riding position, suspension and steering (or so I'm told) and it isn't bad to look at either  :)

My question: if you were me and you wanted a bike that was good looking, fun to ride, usable for commuting and fun to work on - would you go for the 695 or the 796??

Thanks
Prem

Welcome!

You'll get more responses to the which bike question in the General Forum.

I, personally, am partial to the earlier version bikes. I don't like the way the 696/796 bikes look, at all.

 a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."

Hi Ducpainter,

Thank you and yes I too prefer the look of the 695 although with the 796 they look good the more you look at them - until you see a 695 again!
Noted - will post this q there.

Cheers
