Real funny Gator! I'll just have to watch my spelling a bit more closely. The reason I'm asking, is because I am fairly new to motorcycles. I'm 17 years old, 5'6" 150lbs, and will be joining the Army in a few months. With that said, I won't have any bills, and should have plenty of money for a bike, so I decided to get the best and get a Ducati. I thought about getting a crotch rocket, but I'm not that big of a guy. Besides, I believe that a bike should have more than just the ability to go fast. I love the design of the Monster, and am of the impression that it goes fast enough anyways. Does anyone know if the 800 has the new handlebar fairing that the 620 does? If not, can it be an aftermarket add on. I think it gives the Monster a sportier look. A lot of the people on this board seem to be from California. I'm moving to Monterey and was wondering if the price of a monster would vary by state. Thanks for the continued help!
