I see a few late 90s Ducati M900 monsters that are relatively inexpensive. I rode a 620 and 750 and compared to a well sorted SV650 the impression was generally "Meh, nothing to write home about".
How are the old M900 monsters comapred to SV? It seems like they M900 has less Hp than 2nd gen SV650. It's not a fair comparison, I know, but I can get either one in exchange for a very similar wad of cash.
P.S. Are these (say 97-99) maintenance-intensive? I know the early 90s ones were. I have rebuilt engines and transmissions before, but I'd rather be riding than wrenching.
