Hi all,

Just introducing myself on this site.

I'm about to take delivery of a red 696+, should have it next weekend [9th May].

However, this won't be my first Monster. I lived in San Francisco for a couple of years (04->06) and got into biking in the California weather and culture. I had a 620 there as my first proper bike.

Now I'm back in the UK, I've got my UK licence, and am looking forward to getting back on a Monster.

My biking is for pleasure, rather than a daily commute.

Though the 696 is still the entry level Monster, it does have nearly a third more power (62 BHP -> 78 BHP) so I'm hoping to enjoy the difference.

By the way, I'm based in Newmarket, Suffolk.

Cheers,
Nige
