Monster thoughts..
 

Well I've just taken Lynn's Monster for a quick spin around the block. Its the first time i've ridden one and i'm quite impressed. My inital thoughts are, needs more power and better brakes. It also needs more steering lock. Very nearly caught me out!! Great fun to ride though, flat out everywhere is the order of the day! Jeans and Timberland boots appear to be the approved dress code as well.
It needs a little bit of tinkering but we are going to have some great times on it i think.

and another one..

Noooooo!!!!:o

use the power ranger gear for monsters mr RH!!! - please?

C:devil:

You'll end up with a S4R after playing on a 600 for a bit, can't think of anybody else who did that though :lol:

Darren

No, thats a very strange thing to do Darren!

I must try and get a ride on an S4R but to be honest i prefer the air cooled Monsters, just look neater somehow.

Neils going to breath on this one tonight to make it a bit perkier hopefully.

More than welcome to have a go on my S4R next time I see you Paul :saint:

Darren

That'd be great Darren, i'll take you up on that.

or if you are ever down this way, can take my thou for a spin:cool:

C:)

Is that the 1000DS? The new one? Hmmmmmmm.

Italia have a 1000DS demo :devil:

Darren

Head of Hooliganism in Yorkshire has 600 monster that seems to keep up OK.

I hear that he it too tight to cough up his £20 tho'

Yorkie...... where are you now??

Ray

sure is - very yummy too she is:D



.....just ask NBs & Dibble - who have both had a blatt (I mean bimble) on her majesty...... Dibble didnt like the softer set up - compared with his 996, but then its just right for me (and I'm a few pounds lighter than donut boy:devil:) but he did like the rest - inc acceleration.

I borrowed Italia's 1000DS while the M/strada was in for a service.I was very impressed.Its got the same motor as the Numptystrada but felt a lot livelier.Summat to do with lower weight/differant gearing?Well reccomended.
Mrs.KB has got the 900ie Monster Metallic,very similar package,just loses out in top end urge.There's just something about those 2-valvers!:roll:

Problem is i couldnt afford a 1000DS one or probably even an S4R so it'll have to be an older M900 really.

you can pick up a 900 for good cash and that'll keep with a 1000 or a S4R no problem with the right rider I'm sure :frog:

was that Ripley video any good apart from the rain and Andy's ginga hair ?

Funny thing about the Ripley video Rob was that even though you were very loud, its actually come out a bit quiet on the tape! And i was a bit shakey. If i get chance tonight i'll make a cd. I dont have a DVD writer so it will be a bit ropey quality but its good enough to see you styling it up for the crowd (!)

M900's are about £2500 which is nice. I'd prefer an injected one just for convenience though. Did they do an FI M900?

I've decided i dont want an S4 or S4R, i've got enough money problems paying to keep the ST4 running! The 2 valve engines are much more reliable. That doesnt mean i wont turn down a ride on yours though Daz!!

M900ie - produced early 1999 to late 2002 (I think dates are correct).
Not seen many for sale, tho Queen gravel pants was going to be selling hers a short while ago.:puzzled: also, ones I have seen for sale, were not going cheap either.
