Bought a 2014 M796 back in October. Traded an 848 with over 25,000 miles on it. Great machine, but wanted something different for the road (started doing more trackdays on the wee CBR600RR, so the 848 for the street was becoming "overkill").
For the street - love the riding position, love the flickability, and most critically, love having to ride a "slower" bike "harder"....
Looking forward to spring, and hoping our Canadian winter is not too harsh!!
