Just put a deposit down in Northern California. Dealer says March or April 24.

Getting the standard with quick shift, engine guard and possibly heated grips. RVE graphics is a bit too flashy for me.

Post up here if you have one on order and when you pick one yours!
 
I wish!

Agree about the RVE graphics. Can't wait to hear some feedback so stay in touch!

Dealer emailed me saying the first one they booked is coming in this week. So I'm hoping mine will be here by end of February. Ordered a quickshifter and a belly pan. Normally, I would install the quickshifter myself but based on my limited research, there might be a need to enable some some software settings to activate it. I don't want to void any warranty messing around with that. As is, I am grimacing about the possible new bike issues. but hey.. no one is putting a gun to my head to buy this.. LOL..
 
Bike ordered 3 weeks ago and impatiently waiting, was told late march early April. 698 Mono with quick shifter and belly pan.

Since you ordered in December, you probably already have it or pretty close to getting it.. right?
 
Ordered Nov 3rd, picked up from my local dealer 1st week of February!

1 week into ownership of a standard with the shifter added. Bike is excellent. My dealer over looked a few small items I had to point out. Be a stickler .
 
I have a quick shifter on order. ETA 2-3 weeks.

Added rear spool sliders (shogun) and front axle sliders (Puig). Slapped on some 3M PPF.

2 seconds into my first ride I noticed the gear shift lever was binding BAD. I pulled over and moved it by hand and it was extremely tight. They test rode the bike twice before I got my ass on the seat and somehow they didn’t notice so that was concerning. They corrected the issue and it’s been fine since.

Secondly, the breather hose for the gas tank was left plugged! The tank was pressurizing while I rode and was causing a horrible smell that filled my garage at home and parking garage at work. Called them and they admitted to missing it during the assembly . I removed the plug and the nasty smell went away.
 
Still waiting for my quick shifter and the belly pan. Both have been on back order for well over a month now :rolleyes:
 
My ordered accessories (Termignoni slip on, belly pan, sliders, race seat) are delayed from middle of March into April.
 
Here's my standard Mono I got two weeks ago. I call her Maria. Unfortunately we still have snow on the ground so can't rally ride around too much, but hopefully Spring is just around the corner :D

Not too many mods planned. She'll get a quickshifter during her first service. I've got new mirrors mounted, but old ones are still on as well, since I didn't notice the oem mirrors are holding the reservoirs in place. Got the screws ordered. Until then I got a whopping four mirrors on the bike. Probably will want a belly protector on her, some Scorpion Rally STR tires (once the original ones wear out) and a custom sticker set that I am currently in the process of designing.

And this is my current mirror setup with added Rottweiler mirror mounts :D

Welcome Margus!

All you new 698 owners are making me very jealous, being as I'm a life-long Ducatista and appreciator of singles too. Only one answer of course!

Congrats! You will enjoy it. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Wonder if parts availability is easier in Europe than in N. America? I've had the OEM quickshifter & belly pan on order for a long time now.
