Name: Bernd
Location: Originally from Germany - now living, working and riding in and around Taipei, Taiwan.
Bike: M696 (my first real one)
Riding experience: if counting in the everyday riding on my Cygnus X scooter: 4 1/2 years
on the 696: 1100 km

Big thanks to everyone for the great info I found here in the forum before the purchase - that made the decision easier 

welcome to the board!
check out the rising sun monster group (based out of japan i believe) over in the local boards.

Welcome Bernd!  Hope you are having fun with your 696.   Never seen so many scooters in one place as in Taipei.

Welcome!!!

It's truely a scooter-island here, no family without one 
Since they changed the laws and traffic rules for big bikes, the number of bikers is now growing rapidly. Better late than never...
