Contemplating a 2013 Monster 696

Looking for some critics here:

I sold my Buell XB12ss Lightning Long a week ago. I'm ready for my 3rd bike purchase and am strongly considering a Monster 696. I'd really like the opinions of fellow women riders. Men have different perspectives than us and while that's great I really want this bike reviewed and picked apart by female owners or riders. I want to hear it all...the good, the bad and everything in between. Is this bike worthy of road trips? Comfort? Etc...

The reason for selling my Buell is simple. Life is short and I wish to own many bikes before I have to hang up my helmet. :) Thanks
