Hello,
Thank you for the forum access. I'm Rob for Utah; tomorrow I do believe I am buying a 2011 Monster 1200. Since I am paid once a month, I have to make sure I have funds to last
I have been riding RD400's most of my life. Had a GS 1000 for a bit. But for the past few years I have been wanting a Hypermotard 796 or Monster for some time. Then had been one in the lot for months. I just never knew what it was as I was drove by; as it was amongst other bikes for sale.
Long story short I had been looking for a Hypermotard as there are many trails to ride in the mountains. My car could only get part way, due to the ruts and rock.
Then I came across this 2011 1200s.
Drove down there looked over it for a bit, started it, and wow, just wow! No I didn't ride it, I had to do a little research on the bike. Learned immediately how to put it in urban mode, ha! . So glad the roads here are excellent, there's not much traffic, and plenty of back roads. I can learn to control and ride it. One day maybe get into sport mode. But for now I enjoy the ride .
So much different than the 2 strokes I am used to.
Yeah I know it's not a beginner bike; i feel like it with this thing; yes its almost double the HP's I am used to, but I am not one to push it anymore; been there done that. A little older and wiser now.
I like the look, I like the feel, and hopefully we will grow to respect one another, lol!
Thanks again for access very much appreciate it
