I'll start:
- Where is the rest of the steel trellis frame? Do they have a shortage of them in the old country ;D
- Can i take your MV Agusta for a spin?

All the negative comments I've heard pertain to (in no particular order):
the headlight
the swingarm
the exhaust cans
the gas tank/vents/plastic sides
the subframe
the wet clutch
style/design
The good comments:
Brembos
engine
general specs (hp, torque, etc.)
price
colors
style/design

Nevermind. Answered my own question. Saw the other thread.
FTR, the new 696 rocks. In an ideal world, my s/o will have one in the not too distant future.
As soon as funds become available I will be on that waiting list [thumbsup]
i hate it, except for the swingarm....
that is kind of cool
Nice bike. Who designed it? VS? [puke]
Hey Bad Kitty!! Did you get your bike yet? If not, have they told you when to expect it?

My dealer isn't expecting it until next month, all they received was the first red one. We are thinking now we don't want to finance the balance and just save up the rest of the moola. It is a luxury so it is the first thing to get backburnered when the budget gets tight.
I saw one today with Termis.
I was impressed.
You guys should give it a chance. I currently own 9 ducati bikes and i would get one of these in a minute if i needed another small bike.
