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?

Thanks for the info zooom.

By the way, how is the M1000 (or the 900 in your case) for long distance driving? Is it comfortable enought to go on long trips? I know that the bars are a bit of a reach and I'm only 5'8". Do they make bars that curve in more so you don't have to reach as much?
