Well, I don't have "nads." At least I don't think I do...wait, let me check...Nope. So maybe that is an advantage. It just pushes against the pubic bone. Can I say, "pubic bone?"

I'm a 5' 6" guy, and I've got 500 miles on my 696 (anticipating first service next Friday!).

Comfort hasn't been an issue at all, it's been perfectly comfy for me, including a day I did a little over 200 miles on it.

I love the bike (ready for that extra rev range though ;) ).

What do you mean? You feel it underpowered now? Ready for a bigger cc?

Well, unless you've had a bilateral ovariectomy, you certainly do have 'nads...

Of course, if a tank bashes into yours you've got pretty serious problems.

Ha, you got me. No external nads. And to think that I taught life science this year.

Correct, and the power when breaking-in, and keeping below 6K revs, is noticeably more than at equivalent revs with my previous 620.

That's nonsense, and the man has no data to back up his claims. I would not do this.

I wanted the 621 but I heard it had odometer problems. That can affect resale value.
