So, I decided to upgrade to the 696's big brother yesterday...the white 1100s.  For all of you who are contemplating the upgrade, go for it, it was worth every penny.  The new bike has an unbelievable power curve and delivery, handles great with the Ohlins suspension, and the SSS looks sick.  The bike is definitely a lot more than the 696 with a bigger motor.  I can't wait to get it broken in so I can really see what it can do.

Congrats! You've encouraged me to come out and tell everyone I did the samething! I've kept it quiet because I know some people think I made this leap too fast, but I'm loving my red 1100S! Okay, I won't jump this thread. Please post pix!

Congrats!  I would enjoy hearing more of a comparison between the jump from the 696 to the 1100 from either amcloud or sfarchie.  I love the flickability of my 696, and wonder if the 1100 is similar in handling with more power...
My rides:  2009 M696, couple of cages, a few grass eating get-alongs, and some asics.

You too, my plan all along was to upgrade to the 1100s, but I have to still save for about another year. I'm really envious now!

Congratulations guys!  [clap]

My plan was to save a year or so to upgrade as well...until a very considerate drunk mexican rear-ended me.  He was so considerate, he fled the scene to provide entertainment for some fellow motorcycle riders to chase him down and call the cops.  Long story short, the volvo I was driving saved my life (he rear-ended me at a stoplight going 70) and he bought me a replacement car, a new monster, and several weeks physical therapy.  On the bright side, the 696 seems to resell quickly...posted Wednesday, sold Friday.

I got it last night...they are gone now, just not when I took the pictures.

next comes:

levers
clutch cover / pressure plate / ss springs
exhaust as soon as a few more options come out.  I had termis on my last one but thinking of maybe trying something different.  Any suggestions?

 I'm going to do the exact same thing as you. I can only think of one bike better than my 696 and thats the 1100s in white. Termis going on immediately. Only thing I want is to swap the white plastic for my black 696.
