I’ve posted it twice and has been removed/ not approved? It’s also over on the uk Ducati forum
Picked mine up yesterday - 100 miles in the cold damp UK traffic - kept it in Wet mode - despite that, very impressed so far!!
It replaced a V4S Multistrada, so quite a leap.....
Only mod is heated grips - which were a godsend yesterday.
The bike does have a bit of a split personality - inherently a silly SM but with heated grips integrated with the dash, and auto DLRs
Next steps - suspension seems too firm so will check and adjust to factory road settings, and need to sort out a simple way of carrying disc lock - currently looking at one of the bags that bolts to the handlebar....which with any luck will also enable me to use phone for Sat nav.

Welcome! I also came from a Multi ( v4 pikes peak). I think you’re going to enjoy the 698. Especially if you take it on a track day
Great bike. But a week ago, started having issues with the crankshaft position sensor. Posted another thread about it here https://ducatihyper.com/t/crankshaft-sensor-location.5425/.
Its got around 2500 miles on it now. Its usage is pretty split between track and around-town and both are a blast! Its got heated grips which work great and i installed upgraded hand guard protectors with built in turn signals/side-view mirrors, NRC fender eliminator, and woodcraft sliders. Lookin at the shift-tech slip on. Ill post more pics if i end up getting it.
