So if you're like me and were looking for reviews about the 620 dark, you're probally getting bummed out about everyone knocking it. I would like to say that all the compaints everyone has made appear to be BS! I bought my Monster about 2 weeks ago. I've been riding it non stop and will be the first to tell you, I wouldn't change one thing on this bike! People have said it's not fast enough, or it only has 60hp. Consider this, it's a perfect first bike (as it is my first), it's extrememly comfortable to ride, it can go plenty fast in town, and can easily cuise at 90mph on the highway with plenty more power to boost it higher if you truly needed too. So it doesn't go 200mph, so WHAT! Unless you plan on getting into pro racing or taking it to the track at Laguna Seca, why would you possibly need it to go 200mph?! I was really bent on getting an R6, until I realized it was too much bike for a first timer. Try cuising around town on an R6... It's tough to keep those revs up at in town speeds. And also, the monster turns more heads around town than most of the other bikes. It just looks tough! I've had no problems. It's fast, comfy, runs VERY smooth. My seat never gets hot. All in all, I think people are holding it to the standard of what it COULD be, not what it SHOULD be. When you're comparing a naked street bike to an R6 or a GSX1000R, of course it's gonna pale in comparison, you're talking about completely different kinds of bikes! To conclude I'll say this. I have no buyers remorse, and I plan on riding Ducati monsters for a LONG time.
