I testrode it a couple of times, and was very impressed. It felt capable, and really well balanced.
I'm leaning more towards sport-touring for my next bike, so the 939 SuperSport is pulling me, but the 821 Monster felt like a really good bike.
I had an older Monster, a 1993 M900, that I rode for 24 years and 265K miles. My wife rides a 1995 M900. They're good bikes.

Thanks Phil,
I still have the 04 S4R with 54K on it. Don't plan on selling it cuz I love this bike. Just want something fresh.

Try one, it rides like an aggressive monster that weighs nothing. It doesn't have CBR600 ergos if that's the concern.
Gave it a look but I really don't like the look of the fairing and it doesn't come in yellow :-( . I would like to see another monster in the 900 - 1000cc range though. I may be disappointed by t he lack of punch as compared to my S4R.
