Hello All!
I have owned my 2009 Monster 696 for 6 years. I have loved her so much- but I think I have found another....while at Laguna Seca this weekend, I sat on the Scrambler. I was smitten. I originally rode a 96 1200 Sportster but sold it due to how dang heavy that thing was. Now- the Scrambler reminds me of the riding position I miss. Any ways- I'm wondering wether I should sell my monster or trade her in? She has 20K miles, has been serviced regularly (all documentation on hand) I just replaced the battery, tires, brakes and chain within this year. Pretty much stock (except had to get rid of those awful mirrors, frame sliders, fender eliminator) Any thoughts?

Trading it in is easiest, but you can get a bit more coin selling it yourself.

I do not have room for three motorcycles. My husband has a 796. He wants me to keep my monster too. But to be honest- it's not fiscally responsible of me. And BTW we live in an apartment- so no garage!

Like kopf says you'll get more for itin a private sale, but it will take longer and it will be more of a hassle.

Are you in a hurry?

Only when I want something..... Evil I'm kind of single minded in that way. Motorcycles and knives- they are my weakness!

and bring a knife to persuade the salesman. Evil

Have you had a chance for a test ride, yet?  If you're on the fence between one or the other, a test ride should help make up your mind.

Personally, I'd sell privately. It's never been much time or hassle for me and I'd rather have the extra cash in my pocket than give it to the dealer.

Just my two cents.   waytogo

Well guys I've sold the monster S4Rt and the scrambler FT is on order... Shocked

After a vacation in Italy this June with the wife riding pillion I decided that we needed a bike that was alittle less powerful for us two olde farts to potter about on so on coming home we took the stores demo out for a day and that was it, the monster went up for sale and sold within 24 hours.

The streetfighter is a keeper which I ride solo and I've got a lot of idea's for modding the scrambler.

Yeah, that makes me a bit sad. Having a S4Rt and a Streefighter is a bit of an overkill, but I know which one I would pick.

Not sure how many Scramblers are out there that don't already have a name to them, so no test rides. I've been to a few dealers and as soon as they come off the truck, they ride off.
