Amazing, they are fun.

Thanks, these random videos seem to get good feedback, it's good to have a channel with a bit of variety I think. All the best with your build.

I really do like the naked frames on them, it's the same as what CCM are doing now with their Spitfire range, it's the frame that attracts me to those too.

Thanks for subscribing. Hope you enjoy the content

@@forthebold loving it.

Thanks, will do ;)

Thanks

S4s are lovely, I love the rear swing arm on those, would love to see if one would fit this 600.

Very true

Ha, or going the other way over the hill was a 1.1 citroen with a cherry bomb exhaust

ha, nothing yet, I'm out of money on this, needs to be spent on the other bikes, just had £400 worth of regulator rectifiers delivered, video on Friday

Thanks, I wish the Mic picked it up better.

Congrats, I've been looking into new tanks & designs for the monster, something I've never tackled myself before,

Excellent, won't be doing much on this only maintaining it and enjoying the ride. Might have a new headlight at least

Nice, it's definitely worth giving the carbs a clean for a bike of that age. If you need a rebuild/seal kit for the carbs and don't want to spend a fortune, you can use one for a TRX850 or TDM850. The other thing that goes and is hard to get (there's no part number) is the air cut off valve cover. I've had to design some replacement ones and 3D print them for mine, so let me know if either of yours are cracked. The CDI units tend to go, but you can replace them with an Ignitech.

Good call. Luckily this was put on a Dynojet to set it up along with the Termingonis which was one of the reasons I bought it.

put on the giro LED head light from C2W's wrecked bike rebuild monster that would make it look really contemporary like the new honda naked range.

A 72 year old bloke who had it most of the bike's life.

Friday's video will be the test run, I could do with more power.

That was the first day I had it, thought I'd make a proper unveiling video

I was tempted by an SS too, but decided on this in the end. I would have been happy with either tbh

It is nice.

The microphone doesn't do it justice

will be fun

It already has a little gold in it.

If I was to sell any it would be the GS, I was debating on the ST2 but decided on the Monster frame, tomorrow's video will explain more

Ha, ideas ;)

The mic here doesn't give it justice

For The Bold - dreegez ohhhhhhhhhh

thanks,, real life its deafening, my ears ring after riding it

Thanks, not bad for 1994

not a bad bike, i used to ride one

Ha, a few tiny cosmetics but nothing drastic.

They are, I think they've kept their looks considering the design is 25 year + old now, actually prefer these to the newer ones.

its a lot of fun, but understand how it's not everyone's taste

For The Bold - dreegez If you want to know how any mods work out, I had the Chaseontwowheels Monster.. Some mods I loved but that sound is a joy to hear

nice to get a perspective on it, never been on a 1200

So true! And with the smaller bike, better handling. I have a HD Road King and had a Honda Shadow cruisers. Great bikes both. But I really love riding my '78 Honda cb500 I restored last year. I get the fun factor of small, light bikes now.

Fezzler61 aye, and with the Harley comes weight which carries through on braking and cornering. My 1200 Sportster is a tank compared to my 1200 Bandit and requires a lot more rider input where the 650 Bandit is much more flickable even if it lacks the acceleration grunt.

Yep, I guess hit and miss, this one is going to be a good boy, starts cold without choke even now, failing that I'll tuck it up with a hot water bottle and a mug of cocoa

For The Bold - dreegez the girl I know who has one said it would start all the time but would wash it and it wouldn't start, just something to bare in mind because of how much rain we get and how many traffic lights you will be stopping and starting from.

Looks like I'll be doing a video on Power washing it and giving it the old wet test ;)

I've always wanted one, seems unreal to have one sitting there in the workshop.

For The Bold - dreegez is it true about the maintenance, or is it only the Ducati super bike models?

I know that there are a lot of Ducati tools needed. The workings and everything is the same on these as the SS and the ST2 frame is nearly the same. We’ll see how I get on with maintenance

Thanks

Thanks

Still going strong for a 24 year old bike with continuous use.

Yeah so I've heard, First job is fix a slightly leaky fork seal.

It'll be stolen, Bike Theft is at its highest in the UK this year.

The UK, Bike theft is rife here, you can't leave a bike that looks different for long.

With a knife?

It would.

Agree, I would never attempt to cut this frame. It would only ever be bolt ons and keeping the original.

Ha, easier at high speeds I guess

Thanks Ryan

Ha, best non-discreet channel plug ever ;) Have fun

Please no.

Possibly ;)

For The Bold - dreegez LoL

I do like his style, been following him for a while, I like how he changes the shape of the bike with decals also.

If you listen to the video you'll hear that this is my commuter bike. Not a project. This is for everyday riding

He isn’t Finnish, he’s English ;)

Certainly has its advantages to owning a few, I think there's some moods to ride different ones, the CX is something I definitely can;t leave in town.

Each bike has such a different personality as well. Different bikes for different vibes. I wouldn't leave the CX in town anywhere I couldn't see it at a glance.

Especially with no lock on the steering, :(

A good price ;)

I wish a bike manufacture would give me a bike for free. I don't think the Monster is a million miles away from the look of a cafe.

i saw a CAFE RACER and fell in love. i was your disciple , it was you that showed what i saw that i loved. ''design principles of a cafe racer, simple flowing. i dug out my 1969 Harley and begun conversion. since then the ''marketeers'' as they do for money , call all, ''cafe racers'. custom builders call all a '' cafe racer'' . and you, maybe in innocence have succumbed to the ''marketeers siren 'honk' you no longer see what is before you, you see what the ''marketeers '' say is there. yes i know in 1960 London not all those ''coffee'' boys rode pure design, but they were trying to be pure. in there youthful exuberance they create a beautiful anomaly. a pox on all ''marketeers and all that follow the siren............ i follow the ''anomaly''

I could name a lot worse. If the wheels are the one bad comment it ain't bad

For The Bold - dreegez well the worst i habe ever seen . and i havent Seen so much in my life. Just started riding . they look exactly like wheels from a MZ RT 125 ccm

Back in the 90s we had cars with 3 spoke. That was the craze
