Considering cheap run around for 2 up fun.

Guys
I saw a 2000(W) monster M900 for sale on MCN bikes for sale. Its got 3,700 miles on it and is up for sale at £2,300. From the picture it looks in good condition.

What do you guys think. Are monsters any good for cheap pillion fun?

I'd be tempted to agree, as my only pillion experience ever was on Matt's 620 Monster, and that really wasn't a great pillion bike.

The 900 monster is huge fun and is great on track and fast twisty roads but isn't great for pillion use - small, backward sloping seat and no grab rail. I'd agree with the above, a Multi is the way to go. Aternatively, a 900SSie may suit, surprisingly good for pillions!
