Brand new leftover 2015 Monster 1200. Got it for the same price as the 2017 821. How could I not choose the 1200? Got a bunch of new gear too. I am much excite!
Thought about going to check out a new Street Triple, but I couldn’t pass up the deal on this monster. I mean a 1200 for 821 money!? Come on!

Oh dang! There are so few R500s I didn’t even expect it. I think I’ve personally seen more R63's than R500s. Oh well on not being able to make it. Shooters got to shoot and it was worth the shot.

We have some weird people in South Nashville. One of our customers has a Toyota 4Runner Limited 4x4 Supercharged, C63 AMG Coupe, 996 991 Cabriolet 4s, C5 Vette, two Alfas, a Fiat, three S10 w/350 small block swaps, and a couple others hidden in storage. One guy has a XJ220S(1/6), has had two F40s, has RUFs wife’s old personal car, a Carrera GT, and a 512BB. I saw an Allante last week(I was amazed). Also, in the span of last a Thursday and Friday I saw three Porsche 356 Speedsters. One half real/half fake, one high quality($75k replica) and then one real. The reason I know the background on each is because my boss is letting me use this as my getaway car for the wedding. The real one...

If you look through the albums you would be shocked at the amount of weird stuff that does come out in Nashville. You even see a lot of the cars on the roads on the daily. Perks of a very wealthy suburb that has headquarters(CHS, Tractor Supply Co, Nissan HQ, MARS Petcare all based in Brentwood and Franklin)and businesses and not just homes.

We have a couple of those(head game designer of Diablo I think has had a Veyron and 4 Aventadors of varying editions and configurations) but we also have a lot of real car people like the guy who has the XJ220s. When he got his 599 GTO a few years ago that he has since sold, I stopped by his house after high school to ask if I could see it since the garage was open and he ended up giving me a ride. I’ve also held the Carbon Fiber roof on the Carrera GT and sat in the F40 and you’ll find most people with cool cars around here are just like that. One guy has a continuation GT40 with the Ford racing crate engine and he loves to let kids sit in it and ask questions and take pictures.

Either that or VW decided to see if their car designers could design a bike. But their prior knowledge of motorcycles and Ducati in general was on par with a child who sees a red car and thinks it’s a Ferrari.

The sportster was fun, mostly around town, and fun to get complimented on. Honestly it was the best fashion accessory I’ve ever had. It wasn’t great at being motorcycle, let alone a cruiser. Power was fine, sound was fine, look was awesome, comfort was fine as long as the roads were smooth and I wasn’t on it for more than an hour at a time without taking a break. Fuel range was a joke.
The monster should be better in every way, probably even the fashion accessory part
