Matthew_Gibson Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Yeah loads different, Personally I'd stick with the Monty. Long mods are lame. END OF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Owen. Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Its down to your riding style really mate! If you ride natural and comps all the time, a shorter bike, ie your monty would be best for you, however, if you like street riding, sidehops, taps, gaps etc, then longer is better! A longer bike is more street orientated! Street can obviously still be done on a short bike, but longer bikes are theoretically made more for street style! I would say about 1030 is middle geo, meaning youl get best of both world! Personally i think about 1030 is perfect mod length! Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
