YSR_Racer_99 Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Not to be a poopy pants (Letterkenny rules), but just a heads-up. I bought one of these brand new (first gen version) years ago. Kept it for two years, then put it on ebay. Vibrated so badly that it blurred my vision. Dealer couldn't fix it. Maybe ride it before you buy it. Damn on that price. I think I paid $6500 out the door. Was a blast to ride, though, and I wasn't nearly as adventurous as you are.

MidgetTodd Posted February 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Completely different motor. I’ve had a 690 Duke already. 690 is also completely different than early 690’s. They’re on the 5th gen now. Vibration was fixed in the 3rd gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised you didn't lust after one of those. I know I have but unlike you my riding skills can't justify the upgrade over the DRZ.

Yes and no, it has a few more electronic goodies such as lean angle abs and I’m told launch control can be added with a reflash with track pack. Plus Im a KTM fan boy.

I dunno why you'd want both, but I won't assume what is or isn't acceptable in midget culture. I would just buy the smc-r and be done with it.

MidgetTodd Posted February 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 That is sound advice. Thr 790 can be run in wera twins too and should be incredibly competitive in stock trim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
