The smaller size of the Monster is very attractive to me. I am not tall at 1.65 but that is not the main reason. I've ridden big Harleys and owned a Honda NX650 which I rode daily. I genuinely like the proportions of the bike, and its relative compactness. I can't see why so many bikes appear to be made in a supersized way and I would never buy one. I rode a Tuono a month ago. Great power & well finished bike no doubt. But they should have named it the Carthorse. Oh well we are all different!
