well hello oh local one glad to hear there's another monster around, sadly you are essex but you are forgiven

When you get your monster, come out and play. Keep your eyes peeled on the norfolk and suffolk sections for the silly stuff or head south for more sensible recreation.

Dave

I have been riding for a while, CBR600FS, R1, R1, 749R, GSXR1000K5 trying to choose which monster to go for, the current shortlist is 620ie, SR2 800 or SR2 1000 (if I can find a used one)

Be suprised if you can find a used S2R1000 as only been out since Dec.

It would be the best of the lot with what you have already ridden otherwise the S2R800.

If you are putting the 620 in the throws why not look at a M1000Sie as there are a few around and you may find the odd one still in the dealer new at a very good price to clear floor space.

A lot depends on what my budget ends up being. I would consider the M1000Sie as well, just have not seem many around.

In that case, I'm afraid you can't change it yourself - one of the administators will have to do it for you... this was to prevent people changing their location to something silly.

And welcome.
