ive ridden a 749r dark....and honestly its the worst duc ive ever been on (course ive only ridden 3 including the 749)....and for aggressive street riding, trust me, a properly prepped SV will run with it all day....check ccs and wera times...lightweight SS bikes all outrun the 749s in race form...

they are simply not an impressive machine in my opinion....

as for a Monster....gimmie, gimmie....
