    Who would want the 990 Supermoto?

    When this will be available shortly?

    Well... actually, I would probably still take the non R, because it has the bigger fuel tank.

    I'd probably still go for a 690SMC since it's lighter and more motard...

    I have other bikes for long distance, wind protected road use...

    Id have one for sure! Maybe not at that price as i could have a proper motard and a superbike for the same price......

    I would.
    My 950SM was a great road bike and although not a proper motard, it was more than a match for most sport bikes when we reached the corners.

    Looks hot!

    But looks like too comfy of a seat for a real motard. I bet it's nice & fast in a straight line too, but 180+ kgs? Good competition for the 1200GS is all.

    Prolly good for the older folks though. Easy on the back & the tush.
