Halicy: Salamaat! That is one hell of a thing to through, sara7a thats why I wear full gear. It protects me to a certain degree o the rest is in gods hands.

Kodder: That is right, it is a huge improvement with the clearance and the exhaust! I really want to get my leg over it and try it out for sure!

what I see about the new monster, is that they fixed something that was bad in all previous monsters, ground clearance.
they lifted the exhaust system up, Finally!!

Vampire: Anything new always takes some time to adjust to, with time you will like it or when you ride it you will love it! Its a fantastic machine, and like you said the 848 is just something else!

Halicy: I had an accident a couple of years back but it wasn't too bad, and the I try to stay as safe as possible because I want to continue riding. Hopefully you will be able to enjoy a ride sometime soon, o salamaat

the most impressive thing in this new machine is the new 696cc engine and the light weight,, and i like the electonic instrument panel but that shouldn’t be in a “monster”, i think an old fashion tach’s will look more classic.

i hate the sub frame,, looks cheap,, maybe that’s bcoz it’s the entry level and it is targeted to budget buyers

most of the monster owners hate the design (i’m one of them) but i’m certain that over time it’ll grow on me and other moster fellows

i can’t agree more about how beautiful or how well made it is of a bike,, but being a monster…

look at the 848 (drool)
