Just wanted to say hi and whats up. I just bought a '13 696 ABS 3 days ago. Still breaking her in, but its a blast so far. This is my second bike. Previous bike was a '08 250 Ninja and rode that for 4 years. I learned a lot on that bike, so the transition to the 696 was pretty smooth. I will have to get use to the ergo and unique characteristics of the bike. The modding has begun, though it will be more functional (Sliders, Bar end mirrors, and a more comfortable seat) than aesthetics (for now). :)
Here are some pics.
