| What do you like riding ?
The SS has more 'stable' steering compared to the monster, which can feel nervous. If you want to set up a monster to turn quicker its fairly easy, but more fiddly or expensive (ohlins) on the ss.
If you are tall, the ss is easier to fit more set-back rearsets onto.
The monster suspension is more sophisticated, with a rising rate linkage compared to the ss direct cantilever ... but I think that is in fact a negative, cos it means the first bit of the rear suspension action is too soft.
Most people are fitting single-rate springs in their forks after all.
I have been racing a 620 monster with twin discs and a 583 ss with a single disc.
I have never found that the single disc was not powerful enough, and in fact prefer the feel to the awesomely fast (easier to snatch !) braking action of the twin disc. |
