What are the best year(s) 1100 Monsters to look for?
Is ABS a must?
How much would a Corse shell kit cost to buy?
Thanks

I'm not a new-Monster expert, but I can't remember hearing many, if any, negative stories about things going wrong - which would make a specific year less attractive. (I'm assuming you know about the differences to the '11 Evo?)
Just look for the best deal you can find.
ABS is considered a nice safety feature. It takes another ~ third gallon off the fuel capacity and maybe it's making brakes a little more complicated to work on (?). My guess is that future customers (also of your bike, down the road) will ask for them and it can attract more potential buyers.
About your S suspension question - I think Ducati asked about $ 5,000 for Öhlins forks as an accessory, but you would have to know the price of a non-S Showa to decide the difference. The S Öhlins shock would probably just be a couple of hundred more expensive than a non-S Sachs shock.
The real value of the S features are in the handling (which you may or may not need) and the resale value. I'm not convinced you'll get your money back, but it will be easier to sell if you're willing to take a hit.
What's a Corse shell kit? The plastic body pieces? I don't know the price, but I've seen it and would get it if I had a new Monster. Very nice!

Sorry, I don't. Care to explain?

Yes, the Corse is a style of shell kit. Any idea how much these are going for?
Thanks again

I've seen them for ~ $800-$1000.

I searched here on the DMF and someone mentioned around $ 750.
Again, not the expert, but it has different exhaust, new two-piece peg hanger system, traction control, ABS as standard and 100bhp vs 95 on the 2009/'10

Maybe a different angle on the OP's question...do you typically ride out to the edge of your tires? If so, you would absolutely, definitely, notice a big difference with the 1100S and that top-of-the-line suspension. If not, you probably don't ride at the level where it would make a lot of difference.
With my own experience, my 1100S is just as confidence-inspiring in the twisties as my old R6 and CBR600RR were. That suspension is just so smooth.
Worth every penny, IMO...

Oh, and you were asking about years...you can still find new '09s and '10s 1100S in dealerships - and they are dealing on them.

If your going to be on track a lot of times then the extra $$$ for the ohlins will be worth every penny. But if your just going to use your monster for commuting and some occasional backroad twisties then the showas will be more than capable of handling those.

Thanks for all the great replies.
Let's take this from a different angle: 2010 1100S (w/ABS) vs. 2011 Evo. What would you do, and why?

The Evo has more power, better rearsets and traction control.
yes you don't get Ohlins, but you still get adjustable suspension.
and you get the ability to just swap out the forks and shock from an 1100S to make it an S
this is a no brainer to me
Get the Evo, save up to pick up some used Ohlins

I also don't care for the 2-1-2 exhaust on the Evo. What can be done about that?
Thanks

adjustable Marzocchi forks... and just because the one model had some Marzocchi forks that were impossible to even work on, doesn't make them crap forks. they sell some incredible works forks and more.
and exhausts can always be changed. probably could even mount the full termi system from the 2010 model.
