That Monster is pretty...how is it for a "city bike"...I admit I don't know much about that bike, but looks a little "wrist heavy" at slow speeds. How is it at slow speeds, as well? Now- get something like that on a twisty road like Honey Springs, 79 or Sunrise, and i'll bet it's awesome.

As for City Bike- that Yamaha enduro looks good. Anybody else think a modern enduro, with a comfy seat and a rekluse sounds like a good city bike? I know it's not old school like we're talking, just spitballin' here

Had these in the mid 70's and early 80's Wish I still had them.

Old bikes are very cool, but new bikes are so much more practical for everyday use. That's why there is no such thing as to many bikes in the garage.

The Monster is actually very throttle and clutch easy. Ducati designed it mostly as a cafe style/city motorcycle. It is also an excellent bike in the twisties too, especially the S models with the upgraded suspension and brakes.
