[d8mok]

Just thought id say a quick hello.

I'm picking up a 09 696 monster tonight.

Very excited now.

Great choice and welcome. You are going to love that bike!

[J.P]

Glad you managed to find the bike you were after. An all standard model or had the previous owner played around with it ?

[scrapps]

Hello and welcome :thumbsup:

[steve696]

Hello and welcome :)
A good choice of machine, if I do say so myself. As J.P says - standard?

[d8mok]

hi guys, thanks for the welcome

The bike has a few extras- carbon termi's+ ecu+ filter, tail tidy and carbon exhaust covers.

Not long now until i set off to collect it. Its a 2.5 hour drive each way so wont get home until 11 oclock but itll be worth it.

Is there anything i need to know, or anything that is a essential modification for a 696?

[d8mok]

Forgot to ask ! Which is the fastest colour?

[J.P]

Err, RED without a doubt

Very different to sportsbikes. Ive had a R6, 675 daytona and a 848. The 848 next to it is mine too which is staying to keep the 696 company.
