Ha! I had a sit on a 796 for the first time yesterday,(I dont get out much!).....the bloody thing is taller than my 1100S!
Mind you,I do have the DP comfort seat on mine.
As I said in the earlier post,its a bit bargain bucket compared with the 1100's.
I'll keep what I've got for the time being.

Now here's a proper motorbike.
I get more laughs and grins riding this wee beastie than any modern bike.Its(very) loud,lairy and only 250cc so you can ride it flat out everywhere.
Its a 1970 BSA Starfire that I rebuilt over the winter.I can get bits for a 40 yr old Beeza easier than a modern Duke.Just spent the afternoon making a nuisance of myself on it before disapearing off to the pub.
