Very happy with the Monster for the short haul/twisty stuff. It's small potatoes on the Ducati scale but it makes me smile. Sounds great with the full Arrows. Make sure service is up to date-major services are $$$.

This is the proper tool for longer rides.

Have you considered a ZRX? Retro looks, relaible, good ergos and hauls a$$.
