Howdy y'all!

I'm a new rider looking to pick my first bike and learn all I can.  I'll be taking my MSF class in a couple of days and then choosing a bike.  I'm leaning towards a 696 w/ABS...and more classes!  I'm looking forward to learning more about the sport and these wonderful machines, so please feel free to share the wisdom.

Welcome!  A 696 with ABS would be a great first bike and it is definitely smart to take all the classes you can find - the street is a difficult and unforgiving place to learn.  Best to become a skilled rider in other environments first.
