Those 796s look bad ass.

Start small LOL

I would go withthe tuono, nice nekkid bike with plenty of balls.

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.

lotsa Rizoma stuff to make it more comfy and upright. for us old guys, and is a few hrs away

the other bike i'm talking too is in chicago, an 1100s, 6000mi, FMF exhaust and thats about it, so i gotta ride it back and its $9000

in a mad max kinda way, lol

my buddy who owns a bike shop, said i should get the S model, esp for only $1000 more and the road trip...........hmmmm

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?
