That looks fantastic.  Those are a cool set of pipes.  I want to ride it!

Glad to see that you got the Termi's on it - the stock exhaust sounds so puny in comparison to the bike. Nice!  [thumbsup]

Great upgrade!

How easy/difficult do you find the move, regarding the difference in power an 2v vs 4v? How many years riding experience do you have ? (I'm hoping of doing the same thing if the opportunity presents itself.)

So true.  I didn't realize that until I sat in one.

Congrats.  I love the look of a SF with Termis.  Dunno what it is about those pipes, but they really make the look.   [thumbsup]

Oh for the coin to have one of these things.

Amen Brother.  I'd consider a second job for one.

Thanks for the compliments  :)
To answer some of your questions:

The first thing I notice is the seat height, I am 32" inseam and I barely touching the ground with my toes.   
lots of power and torque......  wheelie when first time test rode it in front of the dealership by mistake.. :P  getting use to it.....

I think I miss is the mini bikini fairing on the 696, it actually helps on freeway speed.  I tried 130mph and need to fight the wind resistance hard.....

At last..... almost forgot to mention the brake --- one finger only!!!!
