Hola

seeing as no one else has sent me any pics, here's my 1993 M900, where it all started! Registered in August of 93 this is probably one of the first hundred or so Monsters in the UK. I've had it for close to six years now and ain't gonna part with it! I've done close to 25,000 miles on it, including 2600 miles to Italy and back. I'd rather not think about what I've spent on it over the years....

Anyway, thought it might be nice to see the bike that started the love affairs we all share with our bikes!!

Nice clean bike - very good condition for a '93. I bet the Leo Vince's sound fantastic.

I really need to get some photos of my bike sorted out. Maybe then she can be a contender for "Miss January"........!

Nah, as Fester says I was on my 1000, the red bike was Jules 600 (my better half)

No GT, had a total result on Fleabay - red tail cover in mnt condition for £25 posted. Even better is that the date stamp on the cover is 1993
