I have a 990 SM-T
The thing kinda scares the crap outta me and I ride it very carefully as a result. It's a brilliant brilliant BRILLIANT bike but I am a bit of a noob and dont use half the things power except for the occasional wheelie.


I really like the 690 SMC but would obviously have to sell the 990 to afford one. I ride mostly just around town and that on weekends, I dont commute and just ride for fun. However I would like to cruise out to Harties now and then and explore the roads out there, cradle rd, satellite rd etc

How is the 690 for that sort of thing? Are you wringing it's neck the whole time? Can you cruise ok at like 140?

Comments appreciated  ;)
