Not bad at all. Valves ever 6k, cambelts every 12k, ride the hell out of it.

Old monsters were either 750 or 900 air cooled two-valve. Same bike, different motors. If buying an older one get the 900.

New ones come in 620, 800, and 1000 air cooled, two-valve; and 916 and 996 watercooled, four-valve. Stay away from the water cooled ones. Yes, they offer big power, but are more complicated, heavier, and expensive to work on.

If you can look for an S2R model, available for the last few years as an 800 and this year as both an 800 and a 1000, it has a trick single sided swingarm.
