Depends if its the newer ie or the older Pre 1999 version. Older version is more like the monster. Newer version you lean much farther over. Both I'd say are very confidence inspiring and at home in the curves. Found myself scraping my toes on an on ramp (very tight turn) the other week and I didn't realize I was that far over. You'll find that the jap bikes have more high end but that you'll probably have much more fun with the torque anyway. (Oooops officer, didn't mean to have the front come up on me like that). More than once I've launced from a stop light (particularly going uphill) and found my front tire in the air.
