Does this mean that you bought it?

Was chuckling at the previous "DMF consensus" comment.  Shoulda included that.

Sorry to disappoint.  However the guy's post on the bike indicates sold so I'm glad for him.

I think I saw that bike on Facebook Marketplace, sounds like we're near each other.  The paint job I could have handled but honestly the cafe conversion seemed pretty half-assed - I've never thought that the angles of the Monster were particularly conducive to a cafe conversion and like many attempts at cafe-ing the Monster that seat seemed like it was just stuck on there with minimal effort to shape it toward the frame and give it a proper cafe racer look.

I've got a 2000 M750 and while I haven't really pushed it hard I've found it to be a generally reliable machine.  There's a pretty stock yellow M750 with 15k miles down in Colorado Springs for $3k if that's where you want to stay.

Thanks for the added commentary on that "cafe racer". I'm not heartbroken that it's not in my garage (and I'm not a Miami Dolphins fan either).   

Traditional monster design would've been preferred but the almost near price-point and the fact that the best shop around worked on it made it a contender. 

As I told the seller after getting a longer recovery prognosis than planned with a foot injury, I can't justify spending the $ just yet. Hope springs eternal so I'm banking on being able to shop around again in the not too distant future.

I just hope all your recovery efforts are successful.

I do appreciate the comments on the quality of work at Boulder Motorsports.  I just toted my Monster up to them to get it serviced and back in fighting trim after about 10 years of collecting dust.  I had a list of things I knew needed done but they were able to call out a few other items that needed attention.

Brian and his crew are so nice and know what they're doing (call me over-stater-of-the-obvious)
I hope you have your bike back at this point and can enjoy it throughout the multiple springs we have and of course summer.  

I just hope all your recovery efforts are successful.

So far not (insert multiple curse words) but thnx for the wishes
