I got my first Duc

1996 M900 Monster
Love doesn't come close to how I fell with this bike!
It has even made me question my loyalty to the GSXR family!
I haven't loved to ride this much since I climbed on a 1988 GSXR 750 way back when.
I may be trading my 03 GSXR 1000 for a 02 996.
I know its not as fast but, who cares!!!!!

Other than the maintenances, does anybody know if I should reconsider?

Pic won't load up..but congrats! Jeeps84!! :dthumb: If ur that much in love with the bike,and it pushes all ur buttons in a good way..then by all means, go for it..we've all got our opinions on the best bikes to have..but it all comes down to what you like.

Congrats!! European bikes do have different handling characterists than Japanese ones, don't they?

Forget the 996. Get a Mille! Not only is a Mille a better handling and quicker bike, the maintence costs are a LOT lower, too!

My best friend has a 996. It is an awesome bike. After I rode his 996, I sold my RC51 and bought a Mille R. Nothing compares to the Italian bikes in the handling department. They use top notch suspension equipment.

Congrats on your Monster! They're great bikes! My girlfriend has one. I love riding it. It is very nimble, handles like a dream.

Nope its not just you. I get it to all the time. When I open the thread or try to reply and post. I think it is due to the pic.

 

[Need4Speed]
