New Guy Looking to buy a new 696

[BomberHead]

i have had mine since june of 08 and have honestly had a ton of problems. its seems that its in the shop more then on the road. i only have a measly 3,000 miles on it because every time i get to riding it, something else fails or breaks. maybe i have a monday bike.

I had some problems early on, and eventually had to have the wiring harness replaced. The bike has been completely problem free since then, and my dealer and DNA took wonderful care of me. Stuff happens on a brand new model, but it's been out for about a year now, so things seem pretty well sorted now.
The bike is fantastic - better than my old sv650 in every possible way. I would reccomend it to anyone.
