There was a huge outcry when they redesigned the monster but i really didn't like the old design. I maybe would have bought one but the first thing to go was the headlight for sure.

I never understood the hate for the new Monsters. I was unsure about the new style when the pics first come out, but in the flesh the bike looks great. It works great too.

Way to big HYPERR, but they are still fun! My cousin has one that he turned into his pit bike. I know he put a stronger rear shock on it and may have put a bigger piston kit on it too. But hell, I had fun on my sons pw50 before it was stolen too, so i aint that picky lol

Not pictured is the other sons Chinese 110cc bike which is just big enough for an adult to have fun on. It has been fun, but I'm looking forward to replacing it with a TTR-125 which should really be a hoot.

I've also got 2 buddies who are over 6'2" who are former road-racers now racing the mini-class here in town. Now THAT is funny to watch....
