Is this really worth £50,000!!!!?????? because you cant give Monster 795s away in Thailand many good ones 5-7 years old with low mileage FSH and aftermaket bits going for £3000,, prices on Monster have collapsed in Thailand due to so many being sold as a fashion statement but people not able to maintain them or moving onto latest fashion

If you look closely you can see that the bike is looking at it's reflection in the shop window and saying... Does my bum look big in this?

The owner's of these "collector items" or "investments" can never admit defeat. It's not original enough to earn collector points. Unless your grandfather is Paul Smart this bike isn't interesting - maybe not even then. Sad, really.

My personal reaction is that the owner deserves a punch in the face for NOT riding such a nice bike

Totally agree , one of my mates has an Original 1974 750ss which he bought on credit over 4 years when a 17 year old apprentice ,in 1974, he still rides it a few times a year , rest of the time it sits in pride of place in his lounge ,, alongside a Norton Race bike and a old MV750 -4 they all get ridden sometimes he hates collectors that just hold bikes for future value .
