It was a choice between a slightly used S2R or a wee little 695. I chose the 695. I just can't imagine ever needing the power of the S2R 1000. Also, I like the slightly smaller size of the 695. I just didn't like the 696 frame or the way the seat and tank cram together. Very uncomfortable. I have a bunch of after market parts that need to be put on my bike before I do pictures. Right now it's bone stock! I think we need a wrenching clinic. I'll probably have Nichols do it at the 600 mile service. My husband thinks he can do it all but I don't really trust him. Don't tell him I said that.
Let us know if you need any help.
Oh, and congrats on the new bike.
