I agree - we saw photos of the 696 not long before the 695 was delivered.

We decided the new one was damned ugly compared to the old one. About the only advantage of the new one is the lower (stock) seat.

You can get around the old model's higher seat by fitting a lowered seat, then lowering the suspension a bit.
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

Nope, the beasty has been named. We thought of a few 'red' names (such as Iniga or Rufina) but ended up with Aletta.

And TLoML's birthday is in early January - nowhere near Valentine's day.
