I too, am biased towards the 750.
Mine's a carby.....can't see the need for electronics.
I'm equally unimpressed by extra valves, plumbing,dry clutches or single siders.
The 750 does just about everything I ask of an all round roadster (on the sort of roads a bike is for), including the huge grin.
Its relatively simple to maintain at home, and a joy to work on.
And yes, fuel consumption is decent in normal use, and I couldn't believe how many laps I was able to thrash it for on a single tankful at the Mallory trackday.
I can't really compare, as it is the only monster I've ridden, but after 5yrs or so of ownership I still feel no need or even desire to try a bigger monster...nor indeed a non-monster of any kind.
Buy 'em now folks, while you still can....and keep 'em. Best bike ever, in my opinion. This one's mine forever.
