Nope, not complicated at all. Air cooled v-twin, 2 valves per cylinder, with a desmo valvetrain. Easy to work on, not much stuff to break and generally pretty reliable. The Monster 620's are cheap, they take "real" tires, fairly light (370 lbs), easy to ride, they sound good and they handle good. Dont discount the tire availability when you buy a bike, especially if you want to do track days. If it has 17" wheels on it, your available selection of tires goes way up.
