Sorry! Update?
I don’t think I’m a brand snob, but I do agree about the ‘soul’ thing. Whatever it is about this bike (and indeed the 696 I had) there is a feeling I’ve had with them that I didn’t have with my Japanese bikes. I kind of think of them as perfectly imperfect. So if that was removed from the ownership experience then maybe the Monster’s USP is removed too, which would be a shame.
I’m sure the new bikes will be good though, and I’m fully aware that I’ve only owned two Monsters that are very similar to each other, whereas many of you have owned and experienced Monsters of all ages.
