As much of the things I enjoy in life (motorsports, Supercross, BMX, etc) are sponsored by Monster Energy. I give them kudos for the meteoric rise of their product. I drink it.. I even have a Monster sticker on the back of our minivan. I choose to support a company that supports a huge number of my favorite sports, as well as supports the riders that do those sports.

He overdid it on the kfx80 but honestly.. who cares? It's his to do what he wants with.

Because you can really be a badass on an electric start, automatic, 80cc quad........



Sometimes I lose faith in humanity.

i dont mind the graffix, its the whole marketing of the "ENERGY DRINKS" to the impressionable kids that i dont think is good!! I personally have never tried any of it, ie monstar, rockstar, NOS or one of the other hundreds of companies offering them! I certainly dont think it contributes to the state of health in this country to have kids think its cool to suck down energy drinks, and that is precisely what they think!! I dont remember ever needing any extra energy until i was around 30!! I do understand the economics of it unfortunately!! Atleast the No Fear thing was just apparel and gear, not a sugary drink!!

Its kind of a necessary evil, somebody (some major corporation) had to step in and cover when the Tobacco Companies backed out, like it or not, its very likely that without R.J Reynolds (i.e. Winston / Camel) supporting Nascar, NHRA, Supercross, Motocross, Grand National (Flat Track), etc, etc for decades alot of these niche (or in the case of Nascar, formerly niche) sports would have likely fizzled out over the years, Just be happy its a gender neutral product and were not all forced to watch "The Summers Eve Supercross Series" or root for your favorite driver to win the "Kotex Cup"

That being said... are energy drinks good for you? Likely not, but who really cares who's logo is on the signs, do I support the sponsors? Yes, I drink Monster for me each replaces a six pack of Mountain Dew, and I don't drink coffee, at 41 I'm not sure I could do a full two hour hare scrambles WFO without it... plus they sponsor the series so at many of the races they are free... Its tough to beat free energy before/after the race...

i would much rather have R.J Reynolds, or amheiser-busch, at least you have to be 18-21 yrs old to buy there products!! But i guess the marketing wouldnt be as cool with say the planters peanut guy, or ryan vilipotto with a milk mustache adorning the sides of your bikes!! lol. what does the monster energy drinks taste like?? I have tried a red bull, once, not a big fan!

Naw just doesnt look right. A clash of such different era's. i would only put retro racing decals on my trikes. Thats my taste.

I'll only drink the green ones, they are kind of like a mix of Moutain Dew & Ginger Ale any of the others I've tasted are just too different of a taste for me...

I guess most of you guys wouldnt appreciate my CX-500 LOL.

Bike now has a new seat, everything else is pretty much the same.

Green Monster tastes like a green apple drink mixed with the burn of alcohol. Pretty darn tasty, and definitely nice before you have to do some serious moving.

In my opinion i like both rockstar and monster they both give you really good energy and have a smooth burn flavor and a really good after taste. 300rman i like the bike its very clean and you put monster stickers in the right places but i think the ones on the side covers imo would look better if they were in the middle rather than on the top corner but like i said thats my opinion but it looks nice either way.

Don't forget MuscleMilk sponsors alot of riders when you are talking about the milk mustache.

Try the Monster Import.. It looks alot like the green original Monster but it has a resealable opening on it. Those are soo good.. My favorite.

I love the Monster Java type drinks too (Mean Bean, etc). The Monster rehab low calorie drinks are good too..

I can't stand Red Bull... Tastes like @$$...

At the Supercross races we have been handed some no name Energy Drinks from new companies that were absolutely horrible...

I do want to try the FMF Energy Drinks, but haven't found any in my area.. If you didn't know Monster Energy Pro Circuit dumped FMF after they found out about FMF's new energy drink.. Villopoto finished the season with a stickerless FMF exhaust on his 450.. lol

Pro Circuit runs FMF?

Pro Circuit runs FMF?

Monster Energy Kawasaki did.. I'm not sure how much if any Mitch had to do with Villopoto's bike. The line between Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/ Kawasaki has always been blurry to me.

Not saying its weird, but being more upset over an energy drink than an actual performance part?

monster rehabs are the best they are all mixed with tea and not that bad for you 10 cals and only a couple grams of sugar, unlike the others that have like 60 grams of sugar. try the green tea one its tasty i think.
