I would buy it again though. Having a lot of fun with it. I hope to own a bunch of different types of bikes in my lifetime and this has been a good one. The bike definitely gets a lot of attention though where ever I go. That may be a good or bad thing depending on how you like talking to people.

I turned my attention away from Duc a bit. I found a gorgeous 96 gen 4 VFR750 real close to me. I was real intent on buying it, but while the bank was waiting to come back on financing, someone apparently didnt know I was waiting and sold it to someone with cold hard cash. I was a little pissed, but I understand money talks... So now im back to square one again. I really like the hyper, but im worried ill want to do some long distance and get beat the hell up by the wind.

I want to know how the Monster 796 is on the highway in comparison. You sit more "in" the bike than "on" it.

There are a lot of people that use the monster for longer rides. Remember though, any kind of bike without a real windscreen is going to through your head around at 70 mph.
