[phoenix n max]

Got my monster because I liked the look of them.

Did a bit of research, kept eyeing them up, but also was wary of the constant knocking that accompanied Ducatis.

Was advised away from them mostly - but being stubborn I got my way. Tried one first - a yellow one - and it didn't feel right - thought my dream was shattered - then went to view Max - instantaneous ''this is my bike''

2002 I got Max - love the look, the sound, the ride, how the engines works and behaves, hate all those jap type revs and I can be lazy with gear changes.
Won't buy another bike, hold no interest for me.

I do like the 748/916 looks too - however they are way too tall for me.
