Went to the local dealership today and demo'd a few Ducs during my lunch break. Took out a 696 Monster, which as my dealer described to me, is a great starter/entry level bike. He was right, my impressions were about the same.
Long story short, I came back to the dealership in a rather short amount of time and swapped keys for the SFs that they have. Earlier in the morning they had just put on a full Termi kit and hadn't really had it out and about yet. So I was the 1st to demo it....hehehe Anywho, even just pulling out of the parking lot, this machine just wanted to GO! So, I spun it out to the highway and opened it up. MAN oh MAN! This thing had enough accelleration to, what felt like, push your brain to the back of your skull! Even from a 4th gear roll on to WOT, holy schnikes!! So, after about 30min or so of, what can be describe as nothing short of, pure pleasure... I sadly returned to the dealership and parked the bike. Lunch hour was almost over and I had to get back to work...but anyway...Talk about PERMAGRIN!
I BS'd with the dealer for a while about my experience and we sorted out some numbers. Brought those numbers home to the wife and she finally said "YES, go ahead and order it..." So tomorrow, I get to order my ultimate bike! Going to get her in Pearl White and get the Termi slip-on kit installed. I'm so stoked!:abduct:
