Identify this Amazing Monster 696

[BellissiMoto]

That's a shitty picture of it!!

  

**HAHA!! I was just thinking about your girl on it Randall!!  Thanks for posting as I'm typing.    

IZ!!

I haven't seen postings from you in ages as I've been spending all my time on the SBK forum, but seeing as how I sold my 1098 and picked up a Monster S4RS I figure I'll be hanging around here again.

Anyhow here's another shot just for the hell of it:

You're the man, thanks bro...on the downside, I saw some pictures of it and it seems like it'd need quite a bit of modification to get it to fit a 696 instrument pod

Brian did it, nothing's easy

it can be done

Haha, I'm sure it can be done... just not sure how easy it is for a non-mechanically inclined, tool-less newb like me to cut and modify a carbon fiber pod cover to make it fit

eBay's got some for like $40 shipped, maybe worth a shot

..I imagine the stock 696 pod cover is completely open in the back

I'm still here.  I FINALLY bought a new bike too back in Feb..a black '10 1100.  Already with 7000 miles..and one nail!   
I saw you were selling the 1098.  Seems like I saw that on your site when I was checking out pipes for the new Monster.

Anyway, that's a nice pic of the Monster but I was thinking about the one with her on it.

Is that a 696 headlight and would it be easily modded to the S4RS?

This bike has just made me a believer in the new Monster.  Never thought I'd like the squat headlight and the thick subframe, but man, that thing looks amazing with the clip-ons, the 4-valve engine, and the integrated exhaust.  Absolutely beautiful.

Does anyone have a guess how much this was, all told?  I know those Ohlins are a pretty penny.  Wonder what it came to all said and done, original bike, engine, parts, and labor.  That thing is sexier than an 1198!

If i remember right he had like 30k into it, engine is fully built 916 with 150ish rwhp

Built off the 848/1198 platform? Looks like it.

I think it may have started with a 999

wow, I like the exhaust and the idea of the liquid cooled power plant.
