I don't claim to be an expert in suspension but my 916 has 30mm (I think) offset, same as 900SS, 888 etc. and probably all the racers?

It has to be said that the steering is far more stable/less twitchy than the Monster (realise there's more to it than just the offset) and for a more extreme example, my old Guzzi has around 60mm offset, along with more raked out forks and that's as stable as a freight train - I have no idea why it's even got a steering damper!!
