The 996 is simply amazing. Period. I only ride the canyons, where the 996 stability and handling are unreal. The bike is confidence inspiring. I don't ride around town on the bike at all and don't travel the freeways unless necessary. With that said, when I ride the twisties, the riding position is fine. The first week or two I owned the bike my wrists were a little tender. After that, no worries at all. Buy one, I did. This is my first v-twin and my first Italian bike. I'll never go back.
