696 has proved to be great in a number of ways. I’m not sure that it’s a great beginning bike, but I have been happy riding it, at least until the snow started in December.
Problems, if any, are the ergonomics. I think all of the monsters, even the new big one, are built for people shorter than 6 feet. Even with the supposedly flatter touring seat, I find myself a little too up against the tank. Otherwise, totally sweet.
