I was a little pissed, but I understand money talks...

So now im back to square one again. I really like the hyper, but im worried ill want to do some long distance and get beat the hell up by the wind.
Yeah it's not a long ride bike, I have thought about selling it already because of this

I want to know how the Monster 796 is on the highway in comparison. You sit more "in" the bike than "on" it.

There are a lot of people that use the monster for longer rides. Remember though, any kind of bike without a real windscreen is going to through your head around at 70 mph.
