Just left the Ducati dealer here in town. I went to check out the Monster 796, which I really liked. But as I was talking to the dealer, he mentioned I should sit on the Hyper. He has 2 leftover 2010's on sale for $8,795 otd. Which is a hella good deal since the Monster is like $12 otd. I sat on it and it was kinda weird being so tall and skinny, but when I got my feet up on the pegs, it felt nice and comfortable. Of course its good in the twisties, but how is it on long stints or highway runs? Are you kind of a parachute up there being up so tall?

Styling is ok, I kinda like the Monster more. I really need to see if they will let me test them both.

I'm like the bike a lot, I've replace the front sprocket though to fix some low RPM ridability issues. All in all it's a great bike. Remember though it is a tall bike and the lack of any windscreen may deter you as well.

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.
