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

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.

I see sleeper clutch, yezz?  Ore jus presser plait?

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

Thanks for the compliments  Smiley
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.. Tongue  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!!!!
