    2012 Monster 696 - Barely used

    On Craigslist is my wife's 2012 Monster 696 w/ABS. Purchased last year from Seacoast. Has only 744 miles on it...bike is basically brand new. All stock, except for sliders that were added. I have a fender eliminator kit somewhere that we never got around to installing. All miles ridden by female beginner rider, so gently used. $7,200 on craigslist. $6,800 here. Clear title in hand.

    How did the monster do for a female beginner? My wife is getting her license next season. Sadly, she won't commit to buying anything until she's taken the class, so this is just curiosity. She liked the monster best of all the beginner rides she's sat on.

    Thanks, I'm leaning towards a monster or a bonneville, both of which I'd enjoy riding too...

    Good luck with the sale!

    The bonnie shows its limits pretty early FYI.... definitely not a "sport bike" by any modern means. Not bad to learn on, but it surely can't handle commuting plus sporty stuff anywhere nearly as well as a Monster / SV / etc.

    Go with the Monster - I also "got it for my wife" ;-)
    Sold it after 4 years and 9k miles. It is a very fun bike! Much lighter than the Bonnie and also shorter to the ground which your wife would appreciate.

    bostongixxer, sorry for the thread hijack! I promise I'll buy your bike if you've still got it when I get my tax returns. But someone should buy this sooner! Good luck!

    Pre-winter bump. Last time I'll bother before storing it for the winter. Also, price drop for winter: $7,000 o.b.o.
