Anyone selling a Monster 620?

And nobody wants to look like the circus bear on the tricycle when they ride!

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'll forward my neighbor this thread to read up on - lots of great info! 

Fyi, I don't think ducs make good starter bikes.

My first bike was a Monster 620 after hiring someone to help me pass the test at the DMV 8 years prior and then passing the MSF 2 years before I got the bike... 

I'm fat so I went for the 2v 800 for first bike instead of the 620.

You're not fat!

I think the Monster is a great starter bike. The components are good, the torque is forgiving, and it is pretty light. My wife started on an 1970 R60/5, and when we put her on the M750, she was amazed that I had her ride the slow braking, heavy Beemer as a beginner.

I am thinking about selling my M900 and getting something with a bit more power. It would be the equivalent of starting on a 695 as it only has about 72 bhp.

Saw someone similar zoom by on the bicycle trail a little earlier today.

I know about another M900 being up for sale as well.

first bike was a 99 monster dark 750, wouldn't have done it any other way.

Hmmm.....I'm really tempted to sell my 620 and move up to a larger bike.  My coworker just got a GT1000 and it's sweet looking! 

I'm going to have to ponder this for a bit.   Tempting...

(And my first bike was also a 620.  It hasn't been down on my watch yet.  Ugh....I feel like I probably shouldn't have said that.  Of course, I've only put in about 1500 miles so far.)

Pete, this is the 620 that you bought from me, right?  It would be very STRANGE indeed if it ended up back in my garage!

They are definitely nice-looking bikes. I managed to ride one for a bit, and I think the spoke rims really inhibit performance. I think the Monster 620 probably turns a lot nicer.

1500 miles and you are ready for something bigger?   

the throttle turns more than 1/2"...

word. 

i started lurking on TOB when i first started considering the 620 as my first bike and before, like now, the same comments were made.  i still went ahead and bought it--and even brand new a week after i finished the MSF.  but i also think i fit the criteria of what others have said here, i respect the sport, wanted more than just to go fast and pop wheelies.  a few years later and 8500 miles (yeah, i know that's not a lot) and i'm more excited now than when i first bought her.  the 620 has a lot of limitations, but i love being able to explore them!  it feels good going from chicken strips to chicken slivers.

I have a yellow 04 620 ie for sale.  slipper clutch    remus pipes    tail chop    cyclecat frame sliders [moto]

I haven't posted it yet because I'm lazy and don't really want to sell it (despite the insistence of my wife) ... it would look sweet with clipons.

PM me and we can discuss.

Sounds like she's a beauty! PM sent!

Does the 620 make enough power to need a slipper clutch? Haha I keed I keed :]

they came stock like that

actually, I don't see why a slipper clutch isn't the norm on all bikes.  I guess rev matching is pretty fun too.
