London calling - 696

I understand the 696 hit dealers a little earlier than anticipated. See:
http://londonbikers.com/news/7863/monster-696-hits-uk-showrooms
Anyone from across the pond taken a test ride or taken delivery and willing to give their impressions?

All this time, and I'd never before found the UK Monster Owners Club. Thanks!

Could could also try here:
http://www.ducatisti.co.uk/forum/ducati-monster-696/
Loads of stuff of interest to the potential 696 owner.

Thank you old bean! This is one of the better reviews of the 696 that the Ducatisti board found:

I had a chance to put the boots to it on local roads up here in Vancouver for three days for
OneWheelDrive.Net
.
The video is a little "fluffy", but I felt I had enough for a proper ride impression:

Thanks for the link. I appreciate your review and the bike sounds great. I was hoping to get some non-motojournalist opinions on the bike as well.

I just hope to find a way to get it lowered enough for my wife. Then I can borrow it from her.
I love my 848... but I still miss my S2R.
