Honda = Evil (and not in a cool way)
I swore I would never own a Honda product again and would at any chance bad mouth them. (They screwed me over on my Acura MDX)

Nice bike but I would rather have the older Honda CB-1.
As for the guy on that video, could-he-sound-any-more-monotonous?

I would rename the thread to "I'm selling my M900 and then I'm buying a CBR500", because there is no way that little parallel twin can replace a Ducati Monster 900.

No....I will not be getting the CBR 500.
I do want a more reliable transportation-commuter bike...also, looking for a more "sport" bike.

Hi there Isabelle,
Still working on the M900. First my mechanic found a loose ground wire...then it seems the starter my have froze up.
Really the Ducati has been pretty good to me....just time for change
Funny, I had a Harley Dyna WideGlide before the M900; and, I never thought I would want a sport bike!!
Funny how things evolve.

+1 and a monster is a sport bike, if driven like one!

Close, but no cigar. And the OP's Monster is set up closer to a sport bike than most Monsters.

Well this thread started out discussing the new honda 500 twin, which is not a sport bike either, regardless of how much plastic you bolt on it.

True....
That's one of reasons I decided against it.
On the short list
1. Triumph 675 Daytona
2. Honda CBR RR 1000 or 600
3. Yamaha R1 or R6

You need a test ride on a certain 848 to even see if you like that style of riding.

I'll get in a long road test on the M900 before you get it back.
