Well I sold my beautiful little Monster 600, she served me so well, I can't imagine a better first bike - she was a perfect introduction to motorcycling, and just about the prettiest damn thing I'd ever seen.

But with my restriction period over it was time to move on, and with the market for high-end bikes that fit within the power/weight restrictions booming, it was the right time to sell my baby.

I'll never forget her.



So I wanted to thank you all for your help over the past 2 years, I couldn't have modified the bike and kept her running like I did without your help, so a sincere thank you fellas.

As of last night, I've moved on to my next bike, though I suppose the apple hasn't fallen too far from the tree - she's another beautiful Italian twin-cylinder, my new Aprilia Shiver  Vino!











Thanks again fellas, and maybe we'll meet again down the road sometime, in my search for my next bike I did have myself a hell of a time on a shiny red S4R... and who knows?! Maybe by that time El Matador's rear seat cowl will finally be ready! Wink

Damn, you were talking like you were getting kicked out of the clubhouse.  You can still play in our sandbox, even if you are bringing a different brand shovel. 

Beautiful bike, oh, and the Aprilia looks OK too.   Grin

Hope the Aprilia treats you as good as the Monster did!  Very nice bike.

We need to see pics of this Transformer in robot form.  JK, Actually, I like the Aprilia.  The angular look is hot right now with KTM, Suzuki B-King, Yamaha V-Max, etc.   I have heard really nice things about the shiver.  Enjoy the ride!!! waytogo
