Thanks for all the great advice.  Sounds from the posts like the best thing for me would be a 2000-2001 M900 that'd have a steel tank and be fuel injected.  I have been thinking abou the 2001 M600 I rode--it was nice, but seemed pretty slow.  Given that its getting a little colder here, and I have a bike to ride so I'm not bike-less, I have time to look around and wait to get what I want.

I'd have to agree.  I've owned both a carbed and a EFI monster.  With a power commander the EFI bike was much easier to adjust the fueling.  I hated pulling the airbox and all the other crap on the top of the engine just to make a minor adjustment of the carbs.  Tuning with a dyno meant doing a run then pulling the carbs and doing it over until it was spot on.  As was said before, with EFI and a power commander, the adjustments can be done with your laptop or by a technician using a dyno.
