Hey there -

Just joining the forum hoping to gain some knowledge and get a little advice as I seek my first motorcycle purchase. I grew up riding dirt bikes as an adolescent and teen, and my heart has always been set on finding a Hypermotard or Monster - always been two of my favorite bikes. I'm a long time car enthusiast and am thinking I will finally find my dream bike before Spring makes her entrance!

Welcome sir. As the owner of both a Monster and a Hyper I don't think you can go wrong either way you choose.

Thanks man. There's an all carbon fiber 1100 hyper at the Ducati dealer in my town. 2008 with 4,000 miles - absolutely beautiful bike. Pretty much at the max of my budget, might even a bit over after tax etc....

Here's a link: http://www.eastsidemotosports.com/pr...p?used_bike=88

...how many CC's is your hyper? 1100 too much? Again I grew up riding 250 and 450cc dirt bikes and have ridden a couple supermotos but this will be my first licensed street bike. I'm not a speed demon and likely wouldn't use all that power anyways, but sometimes the bikes feel a lot more balanced and alive even at lower speeed/rpm. What would you recommend?

Mine is an 1100 and I don't think it would be too much. As usual respect the power until ya learn the bike then flog it like you hate it!
