Hi Jon, we are selling The Trouble`s 696 as she has traded up to an 821. Having ridden about 50 miles on both over the weekend I can confirm that there is a considerable increase in performance and weight on the 821. Quite a few additional electronic features too . I may be biased but I think our 696 is a really nice one. It is on the for sale section here . We are in Bedfordshire near junction 12 of the m1 if you fancy a trip over to compare the two side by side. You may even be able to talk us into selling the 821 as The Mrs is concerned it may be a little too much bike for her. If you want to see pics of it let me know and I`ll send you some along with all the details.
Hi Jon, having had my 821 Stripe for 7 months and clocked up just over 3300 mies, I'd highly recommend it. It's a great bike and put's a smile on my face every time I ride it. I can't fault it.
