Damn, damn, damn!

yeah i understand your itchy trigger finger on this one.
this bike makes all kind of sense. just wish the nose was prettier. but in black it's less obvious.

just wish the nose was prettier.

My son refers to it as "hideous." I figure I won't see it much while riding.

compared to what it replaces its a super model! i really like to looks of the whole bike. good luck with your decision.

I it true Mutistrada is Italian for "ugly bike"?


Seriously-I've seen one attractive one-Triple J made it.

Trigger = pulled. Looks as if I'm #9 on my dealer's list.

The test ride did it.

Guess it's time to start writing the "for sale" ad for the 696.

I should be happier about this.

I'll be happy for you.

It allows all the emotions to be represented.

[mstevens]

I'll be happy for you.

I am happy about it. I'm just also really torn about the Monster. I simply don't ride enough each year to come anywhere near being able to justify 2 bikes.

[Porsche Monkey]

Who says you have to justify it?

[DarkMonster620]

the wife....

[Mojo S2R]

Maybe trade in the wife?








I keed, I keed   

[mstevens]

The wife's the one who pushed me to go ahead and put down a deposit rather than wait and think about it.

In part, I do have to justify it to her since it's her resources I'll be spending. That's for my own reasons, though, not because she requires that I justify anything to her.

There are already 2 cars, a Vespa, 2 Monsters, and a big ol' tractor in the barn and only 2 drivers. 3 Ducatis and a scooter would make no sense at all.

what kind of MotoGuzzi do you have in the barn?

That nose adds 5hp according to DNA.  I like the way it looks and i wish i could buy one!

You're right.  I think I would do the same thing.  It would probably be hard but one of the Monsters would have to go.  I'm not as lucky as you though and only have the one.

I totally agree with mstevens and Mojo, I don't need to justify what I do to my wife, just communicate what I'm doing and she knows that if I do something, is for a reason. And at this time, I have no reason to make purchases other than take out and fuel for the one and only Monster in the family...

[Raux]

well if you didnt have 2 696's. maybe an 1100 and a 696 you could justify 3 Ducatis
