I just test rode an M796 and found that while it had good handling and great brakes, the engine wasn't as promised or expected and the clutch sucked compared to my S2R800. The 796 is supposed to be a better bike all around, but that's not what I found.

I sold my 05 620 Monster and cried like a pregnant dog for days despite having another bike int he garage (cruiser at that). Well not two months passed and I'm onto a 750 later S2R and S4R (my extramarital affair). not enough so I bought a vespa, the only thing I could buy after all these expensive ladies. I want my 620 bike for the track.....I would put track skins on it and let'r rip
BUT
there is greener grass. Had my Roadstar for 10 years pulling 130 lbs/tq from 1,000 RPM and onward. Jumped on an Electra Glide and oh was it sweet and plush. Loved my Roadie but the Electra Glide is my barca lounger and smooth as silk.....yes, for me it was greener this time.
