Thanks for the welcome!
Glad I asked as your advice on which model to get has widened a bit my search (looking now also at 750ie).
I read the 695 had adjustable suspensions vs the older 600/620, which could make the riding position slightly better, but I may be wrong. Is that what you mean Darkness? Can the adjustment be done simply?
@Velosam: what do you mean about "a bit snatchy at low revs" for injection models?
I am not after big power, so I'll pass on the M1100 with its 95bhp
Best,
E.
