What kind of riding do you plan to do?

Around town, country roads. I probably wont do track on it, I want a track bike eventually. I thought about getting into a touring rig, but I decided my life is far too instable to be able to just go on long tours.

The Kawi - I'm not a fan of the looks at all. Not even a little bit. And the ride wasn't excellent enough to make me like it.
The monster - there is a culture that is following them. Parts are available a plenty both in the case of a drop OR to make some custom effects.

Honestly the STR is falling out of the group. It has the most hp of the group, so it wouldnt be underpowered in this three. I mean I understand its almost like a 600 where you have to wind it up to get good steam. And it would have to have the body pieces like this one for me to like the looks....
I have kinda fallen in love with the little funky Er6. I even like the looks. But the bike is what it is intended for, a budget ride. You can't expect as much out of it, and the performance isnt going to be there. But its grown on me, and might be a good plan B. Papa's bike is what I'd like to do...
