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.
