Monster is just as powerfull as my SV was and that was a great bike. I miss riding it.
Ducati is exactly the same, but a more expensive version, and a little more touring riding position.
I considered a Monster, but lack of protection against the eliments and a low milage service interval put me off.
And if its Italian, it will always suffer with electrical issues
Tony, just make sure its cleaned every week, whether its dirty or not. It'll protect the bolts and engine casing from corrosion that happens all year round.
Even suffering with it on the Bandit, and its only 5 months old.... (And 5k+ on it already )

Suzuki budget bikes are made of paper mache and rust quicker than a ford in a harbour seabed.
Im already trying to get them to replace my oil cooler pipes that have corroded. I wash them with a toothbrush dammit and i've got a mudguard extension.
They are trying to fob me off with "general weathering"
What in the f-ing summer, with the mudguard ext, and being washed every single weekend with about 3 brushes and 3 types of sponge 
Mofos.
Good bike Tony, get twin termigoni (?sp) cans on it, u'll ride along with a hard on at all times. It sounds and feels stunning.
