I had been wanting a naked sport bike, or something like that, I just really wan't sure what I wanted. I had a Concours, and a small Suzuki sport bike, but they just didn't fit the bill. I live in Mississippi, and just don't see many Ducatis around here, I didn't even know what a Monster was. I was told that the nearest dealer is Birmingham, AL. But anyway, I found this one, and really enjoy riding it, its actually more comfortable than I had thought, and it handles great. What a nice little bike!
The bike hadn't been run in a few years, and I'm having some issues with it, but I think I will really like this bike once I get everything straightened out.
I should also say that I have been around motorcycles for a while, had several different cruisers, now own an 06 Goldwing, Magna 750(which the wife is moving up to soon, hence the Monster is its replacement), and a KLR 650. We only ride the Goldwing when traveling. The Goldwing handles well enough, but riding a cruiser is like driving a battleship. I just needed something different, so the Monster is the answer!
