Well, on the upside: the Monster is so light that you can really easily maneuver it around by hand , meaning standing next to the bike and moving it. You can easily slide the rear wheel if you need. Try doing that with a Goldwing! All in all, the Monster maneuvers quite well. Better than my ST4 in any case, and better than a Kawa GPZ900R too. Haven't had other bikes so wouldn't know 'bout others...
