My 690 is probably standing on somewhere around 12 000kms now. Took it down to the coast and back last week. The rally kit really helps a lot for long distance. I actually think it has much better wind protection than any other bike I've had. My arse started really hurting around the 400-500km. Fuel consumption was between 16-20km/l. 16 while going flat taps on the dirt, 20 while cruizing at 120-130. I fitted a set of T63s before the trip and it was the first time I could play with the bike on tar twisties and it was loads of fun. It goes like a demon at sea level!!
All the issues I've had so far were with the aftermarket kit. POS considering the amount of money you pay for it.....
