Haha, I had a Buell Blast first year model and my co-worker bought a Duc Monster 900. He let me ride his bike and I was in awe. It had this clanky sound from the dry clutch and this beautiful riding position that didn't kill my back. It definitely saved Ducati in the modern era.
Yeah, this is the only time I wish I was 6 inches shorter, the combination of TORQUE and very little weight and a perfect suspension package makes this bike a dream in town.
I'm 5'10 & 185 lbs. Love my '05 620 and ride the snot out of it as often as I can. It makes plenty of power for what it is, and I hang with my group of 900's and larger without issue in the twisties.
