I'd take the Monster. They Hyper is cool but just not the right bike for me. I sit way too high to feel comfortable.

Free, and only a choice between the two, I'd take the HM796. That may change if a used, previous generation monster were thrown in as an option.

Monster. The Hyper 796 is cool and has a much better seat than most motards but has a small tank and probably ain't great on long freeway jaunts. The Monster is a little more versatile. But if I was going to get a second bike....

Well I've got a Monster that I don't plan to replace until it stops going. So hyper for me. Also the seat to tank junction on a 696 is, ahem, disagreeable to my build.

Gross. Neither are good for freeway jaunts.

Already got a Monster, think I would go for the Hyper kind of like the idea of the whole urban/city attack thing. Was torn between a Hyper and a Monster when I bought mine so they still spark my curiosity. Though I have no idea what I would use it for to much for the city, to upright for the mountains.

The 696 smashes my nuts just sitting on it. Can only imagine what would happen if i really needed my brakes.

Been on a superbike before? The 696 is tame and gentle on the potatoes in comparison.

Monster, purely for range.
Hyper if I didn't care about going far, but want to have a helluva lot of fun doing it.
Where I live the gas stations are 20+ miles apart... the short range of a Hyper means I'd get a lot of walking exercise. Work is a nearly 50-mile round trip, and there are no gas stops between Stevenson, WA and Bingen, WA.
If CA-cycleworks makes an extended tank for the HM that brings the range up to 300 miles, then HM, hands down. Let the hooliganry commence!
