Hell, I want to get one so I can swap all the go fast bits (to include the motor) from my S1000 onto it.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

don't forget to put real forks (adjustable forks) on it, and to remove that heavy 'fake sump' cover.  you'd need to re-do the triples though to fit superbike forks, I believe.  Or locate good condition adjustable supersport forks (since they are longer than Monster forks, which iirc would be necessary for this bike)

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

I dunno...friend has one, beautiful to look at from a distance...but I went limp on the fake sump and the cracked welds on the tail ornamentation

"Purpose-built collectables" are a tough gamble...

Look at the resale value of commemorative coins and trinkets, engraved, inlaid and scrolled-up commemorative rifles, pistols etc...

The MH is visually impressive but as a serious ride it could use some serious upgrades ....kinda like my ex-wife  Grin

fancy collectors 1911's command ridiculous prices still.


For the MH900e, I think it just needs some upgrades (just like a Monster ought to have as well) - I think the frame and body are wonderful. The forks and fake sump gotta go, but that's about it for me.
