Not so.

The only monster that is oil cooled are some of the early 900s.

It was to the best of my knowledge the only 2V motor with an actual oil jacket around the cylinder.

The fact that the oil is cooled by a cooler doesn't make an engine 'oil cooled'.

Well, technically, any internal combustion engine is oil cooled to some degree.

Yes, but it defines a difference in cooling design and burden just like BMW airheads and oilheads.

I still love my S4Rs

I love my two old v2 (00 and 01 900's) monsters. I only think of them as monsters because I can't afford an S4R at the moment.

I mean, I could afford to buy one on credit, but I'm a cheap prick who won't carry any debt other than a mortgage.

When I can afford an S4R, I will think of it as a monster as well, but until that time, it's not and only my beloved air cooled v2's are

Off topic but needs to be said at some point with all the other opinions, Only 900 and 1000 air cooled are Monsters. 620's and such are girly bikes

Just when I think you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like thisâ€¦and totally redeem yourself!
