New toy.. 78 900SS

[monsta]

I've wanted one of these since I was a pup. When I bought the monsta 15 yrs ago I was actually looking for an older SS, but couldn't find anything suitable at the time. The desire for an old SS never died!

This one is freshly rebuilt with less than 1 hr of riding time on it, probably half of that by me!

Looks nice, how old is it?

Awesome. Would you mind giving us poor unfortunates a bit of a ride report?

I have always seen a lot of Monster in these bikes (OK I admit that should be the other way around) and would appreciate a comparison in the ride experience from someone that knows.

Thanks.

I think the title kinda gives it away

Beautiful bike.

I don't know if you have seen "The Italian Machine" before but it's a funny and entertaining short movie featuring the 900SS. They have it in full below.

beautiful bike, but why do the front forks look like they are on the wrong side??? thought the brake calipers should be behind the forks? maybe it was just the race bikes or there were different forks available?

If for some reason a bevel ever ended up in my garage, I'd have to get this:

Nice bike BTW!

Beautiful bike monsta  ,Did you buy it local or east?
We should go on a bevel run one day.

That one would sit in my living room, not the garage. What's the story?
