What!  That's a 695 color pattern!

DRRRROOOOOOOLLLLLL.   Drool :leghump:




I'd be concerned the bikes would be too similar.  If I bought a Monster, I really don't think I'd have that much use for the FZ1.  I think I'd rather pick up something like a Bonnie or Sporty and have a bike that is more different than the Monster would be.


The Bonnie & Sportster are both much heavier and cruiser-like than the Monster.   For me the Monster would win the "grin" category easily!

Agreed. I was very interested in this bike, but I'm 6'1" and pushing 230, so it's looking more like a Versys or Vstrom for me. I just don't want to look like a big monkey humping a football.  EEK!


Do you really care what you look like? If you're comfortable and you like the bike, why should you care if other people think you look too big for it? It has plenty of power to move you around. Ride what you want regardless of what other people think.

Now, if you rode one and a lack of comfort because of your size prevented you from enjoying it - that's a different story.

I liked his comparison of a wheelie to a rearing horse to an erection.  Lol Lol
