More fun than my 848 sbk. Only complain was the wind instability on the highway and the low rev limit.I've ridden both, and went with the EVO. Don't get me wrong, the Triumph absolutely rips. It's got a great engine, but everything else felt sub par to me. I ended up going with what felt most natural to me. Which bike I figeted around on less. Also, I rode the 848sf also. Again, great Fricking motor, up 30hp over the EVO, but to me the front end didn't feel as planted and you had to ride it way higher in the Rpm range. Almost like a Japanese 750.
The Monster does not have the straightaway power as the others, but its so Fricking lite in the turns. Lighter than all 600's. mine is 402lbs with a full tank on a freight scale.
Also, there is a great article online between the 2 you are looking at. I believe they chose the Monster, even though the Triumph was better in several of the test.
