Seriously though, if you can afford a new MS620, why not get a secondhand 1000?
Secondly, I didn't say I could afford a new 620 , could just about manage an ex-demo if I sell the Monster.
Also insurance...
MTS1000 = Group 15
MTS620 = Group 11
(M900 = Group 13)

And firstly - I hate the Hypermotard - It does absolutely nothing for me . What is it with this 'beak' thing? Looks hideous . (I also hear that Ducati are having some 'fun', as there is very little bodywork in which to conceal both an air box for a 1000cc engine and have enough fuel capacity to get you to the next petrol station )

I do quite like the look of the Numpty as is, but I could be tempted to mod the front end to look more like a Monster.
