I look at all the pics of yall's SS's and it makes me really want one, but I've decided that I no longer want more than 2 bikes, and they have to be for different purposes, e.g. track and street, or touring and street, etc.
A CB500X is my touring bike for its (relatively) super long range, comfort, and robustness. My Monster 1100 EVO is my street ride, with which I am in love and can't bring myself to sell. As far as performing the maintenance, it's more practical than the SS in that its only 2 valves and there are no fairings to remove. It also has fewer electronic gadgets; less is more, to me. Also, I'm a daily rider, which increases the possibility of nicks and scratches on the greater surface area of fairings, which would leave me distraught. Although, the SS's bigger tank would increase my range for commuting.
I want the SS badly, but I feel I'd regret selling my Monster, especially since we've bonded over so many miles. First world problems :crying:
