I'm looking at a 2004 Monster 1000S for around 6k with 5k miles. I'm debating whether I should go ahead and get this used one or buy a new one like the S2. In your opinion, is the 04 1000S a good bike? Is it better than the S2 800?

I have an 04 M800 and if I can afford to do it all over again with what's available today I would go with the S2R 1000.

Lots of mags say that the 1000DS is the best motor from Ducati and you have the lower cost of taking care of an air cooled 2v motor.
