Hi all, I've always wanted to try a Monster and I've finally taken the plunge with a 2012 1100 EVO. It's red with the white stripe and 5,800 miles on it. Came with a tail tidy, Evotech levers and an SC-Project can. Only managed one ride so far but loved it! Tingling hands after though which lasted a couple of days. Hopefully a looser grip on the bars will help. Other than that it seems like a lot of fun. Never ridden a twin before and it's pretty much as I imagined. I only meant to go out for a quick test ride but went out for 2+ hours. I also have a 2002 Honda Hornet 600 that I bought brand new 24 years ago! It needs the carbs cleaning which is taking a while. That's what prompted me to pick up something else so I could get out riding before the weather turns. Looks like it’ll be a nice day tomorrow so I’ll be heading out for round two! Cheers Al
