Aprilia Shiver + Ducati 696 Monster + Honda CB1000 = Saturday morning fun

Hi Mr KD, thanks for writing up your test-riding experiences.



so you're 5'10 and thought the Monster was about right? And Ms Trudes found it not too tall either? Is she considerably diminutiver than thou, or just a bit?

I'm a confirmed short-ar5e so nice bikes I might have a chance of being able to sit on without shelling out for complicated suspension surgery or having to tough it out for a couple of years on the rack sound like the way forward. If it's fairly forgiving for the shorter rider maybe I should go and try sitting on one as well

and red ones go faster. I'm given to understand.

What she said.
The monster is easy to get the feet down due to the low seat height, but when I was riding it I didn't get any "i'm riding a small bike" kind of feeling.
If you are looking at sports bikes try the GSXR 600/750. They have a narrow seat that makes it easy to get the feet on the ground as well.

Probably the best kept secret in naked is this bike. Take one for a ride!

But it's just so, so, so, um, so..... UGLY!!!!!!!!
Sorry, the retro "I'm 80 years old and this is what I rode as a boy" bikes just don't do it for me (Yes, I know, "But you ride a Hornet", I do however draw the line there!!)

Much like a fat chick you gotta close your eyes and feel the quality of the ride

I guess so. Having never fucked a fat chick, I couldn't possibly comment!

The Shiver's footpegs do feel low. However I've taken the back tyre edge to edge on several occasions now and have yet to drag a peg. How do they do that?

Something to do with the 810mm seat height?

Peg width might also be a factor, that engine's a fair bit narower than you're used to.

I've long liked the look of the Monster

Which one? Me or Sully

Ahem. Mr KD's thread appears to be just a little bit off topic.
