hi team.

after 5 years of owning my m695, im moving onto a sport classic (biposto). i love my monster, but i cant keep two bikes...so with a heavy heart i have to let her go. I am however looking forward to the power increase of the SC and having a new blank slate to start customizing. i guess i'll be spending less time here, but i want to thank the members here for all the great info/advice i've gotten over the years.

ride safe.

Congrats.  A good friend of mine has a 2007 Sport Classic.  He has done a ton of mods to his including wheels and brakes off an ST3 or ST4 but he has also had the tank expansion issue.  He coated the inside of his tank and it seems to be okay for now.

His bike looks really cool and he gets way more comments on it than I do on mine.

I don't even own a Duc and they haven't kicked me out yet, at least you'd still be in the Italian family waytogo

no reason to leave the forums... a lot of the parts/tech are similar, if not identical.

a good number of the folks here are monsterless anyway (myself included)

Yeah. plenty of folks without Monsters or even Ducs on here. And as said the SC share a lot with the monsters - so no need for good byes

after all you still owing a Duc aren't you? or heck you still on two wheels...I love the info I received from the forum and very good source of knowledge around the world.

Congrats on your new purchase!  waytogo  I will eventually go the route you're taking my friend...but the monster came to stay though.  +1 on pics when you have a chance.

hi guys,

finally brought the SC home last night, you can really see how the close family ties to the monster line. I was nervous about the aggressive forward seating position, but after a half hour ride i didn't feel any discomfort. But the low clip on bars really are confidence inspiring in the corners.

a pic of the brothers before monster finds a new family.
