Voted for the S2R 1000 as out of those listed its the one I would prefer, don't get me wrong My 800 version is a real hot, i'm just thinking about the extra wheelie capability from the extra cc. My bike with a thou engine would be a great option. Saying that I doubt if I'll own a 1000 Monster as I do like the new 1100 so maybe one day. I've done about 4K miles on my 800 so far and as I only have size 7 feet I haven't encountered any probs. Carried out a oil and filter change a few weeks back and reset the service indicator using the buttons on the dash. Give it another couple of months I'll change the belts and do the valve clearances, then if I have time i'll check the cam timing and adjust as necessary as it'll probably get used more than any of the other bikes come next winter, After all it is an air cooled Monster and they are easy to work on I've seen 140 on the clock with standard gearing but prefer the lower gearing from the 14T on the front.
