Only had my 600 Monster Hack for about 2 months now, I've done 2500 miles in that time riding it up and down the A34 to work and back.
I picked it up cheap from a advert off this message board. Its less of a hack now than it was as I have stripped and regreased all the rear suspension, dumped the original front rubber brake hose and fitted a aeroquip hose along with new pads. repaired the broken engine bolt and swapped the bent bars.
I find it a great little bike for just throwing my leg over and going for a hack about on. Good tyres, good brakes (now) and the suspension all works pretty much as it you would expect on what has always been a built to budget bike.
Its 10 years old with 47k on the clock which is kmh but has a speed convertor fitted so its done in excess of 30K miles, probably seen a few winter roads in that time and is STILL a good little bike
