Are power commanders not popular for 990's?

What's with all the ex-DR riders selling their 950's?

You're not pregnant are you Joe?

Had a quick look at your 690 ADV thread, sounds like your doing Ok, and anyways who wants to still be wheel spinning at 160kph on the metal

I saw 100kph two up today on the little metal track on the way back from where that photo was taken, wheel was off the ground to

Im thinking the 690 might be more controllable and Ive ridden the 690SM and thought the motor was sweet

To be honest I think the Twins need to be short shifted to get proper drive on the loose stuff, but dang its fun to rev them and its seems slightly adictive, requiring some type of twelve step rehab program afterwards maybe

I,d like a 690 for real trails and its probable got enough omph for the Road, I mainly bought the 950 because the Singles just didnt do it for me in the transit sections but I think we may have overcooked it now for the Dirt

Am heading up to Woodhill bike park tomorrow To test the new YZ290 big bore kit and was considering Trailering Katie as well for a pre run up to South head on the low Tide, but Im not sure if she can get through the sand cut out to the Beach (on the stock Scorpions) and not keen to start my day pinned under a 210kg bike when 100kg one is awaiting, its always horses for courses I suppose
