I wouldn't, M600 doesn't make more power than a SV. Has a much worse steering lock so it's not as easy in town. Maybe for the 1000DS or S4R, and then it'd have to be garaged.

Ask Grinch or more specifically Mrs Grinch. She has a Ducati Monster. I think she is pretty pleased with it and she rides it quick enough.

Sorry, got to say this, but the above are ridiculous comments, whether you like them or not, Monsters aren't 'crap', far from it in fact, true they makes less power than the SV, but the chassis is better, and - albeit it a personal thing of course - it's generally held to look good. Finish critcisms are fair of course, but a bit rich considering the SVs less than perfect reputation in that area.
