Interested in the thread title... thread doesn't deliver.... jk
I love the monster line since the redesign. If I had 7k, id have a monster 696 in my garage right now. Saw plenty of both 796 and 1100 at the Indy gp. There was an 1100s with Termis on it that openened it up as we were walking to the car. I was in love. Honestly, if you have the $, go for the 1100.

Ack my decision gets harder, so I drop by my local duc shop, sales mgr is.a long time friend/riding buddy.
They have a MINT 09 monster 1100 w 6-700mi, for $9200, and that's before the buddy deal, I expect $8700 The other 1 4 hrs away has $1000+ worth of mods I'd prob end up doing anyways, exhaust and clutch cover but has 6000mi I really have my heart set on an S bike w ohlins stuff, but the reality is that it's going to really be a commuter bike w a few weekend rides...

Of the two posted...
I love white bikes but Italians are just plain sexy in red. That and FMF makes MX pipes, Ducs get Termis. You're not going to use the Ohlins anyway so why bother? Is that your way of NOT saying you posted from your iPad?
