New member needing advice

Hello guys im sure you get plenty of this so i apologise in advance. I don't have a monster but i'm looking/seriously considering one. So i have some questions which im hoping you guys would be so kind to answer.

I would be looking at the m600 round a 98 plate (carb model?) so if you would let me know what to look for and what are the signs of abuse.

Also i'm 6 foot three so not having managed to sit on one yet how does that bode?

I'm not sure of the size of the bike physically so are we talking bandit size but closer to the floor?

Finally the speed and handling. First 'big bike' for me, im not put off by the fact its italian because im fairly compitant with machanics. But i do want something that will get the 90 without having to really push it. I'm kinda guessing from reviews that its all middle range? More poke than zoom??? 0-60 would be good aswell lol

Any advice would be most appricated. Atleast i show promise in my taste

Regards Luke
