I am planning on getting a monster 620 for my first bike and I was wondering a few things, first: Does it have enough acceleration to drive pretty fast, and second, can I easily ride with another rider on it, I am about 6"2 190 pounds, will it be alright to ride with another person

The 620 isnt that fast, if you want to ride 2 up I would go with the 1000, definitly has alot more pep, I have the 1000 myself and have rode the 620, go for the 1000 you wont be dissappointed..

If this is going to be your first bike then don't get the 1000. You would be crazy and probably crash a $10,000 bike within the first few months. Crashing a naked bike that you paid around $6500 for is a lot less painful. The last thing you want is to hurt another person with a 110+ horsepower bike. Get the 620 and learn to ride it well. Take the advanced MSF course. Wait a couple years and then decide if more bike is for you. Above all be careful and read up on two up riding, the passenger plays as important a roll as you do.

I am 6'2" and 200lbs. Ducs move out like a rocket. STick to the road like glue. Can be expensive to maintain and repair....so be careful. But, you will never regret riding a duc.
