as the title says.

has anyone seen the 09 690 in the flesh?

i think the motard model is butt ugly! :X mostly because if the dual truck stack mufflers!

however the 690 enduro and R are more my liking!:kiss: :kiss: :kiss:

Sutto’s are building a special with a big tank and calling it an outback or the likes

nice bike look good never rode one but felt a lot heavyer than my 530 to sit on but you would expect that

[drewMember]

am i correct in saying it’s the first kato single cylinder to have EFI?

[GregMember]

I was told it was designed and built to win the Baja, or it had a lot behind its design

XY, went in to get something and got sidetracked in the show room.
Before i knew it i was sitting on it and was offered a test ride.
Yeah it looks good and just tipping it over it felt light compared to my husky anyway.But my tanks top heavy when full.
Doesn’t seem big at all.
Don’t know if i would worry about the tank, its normally sitting close to body parts you want to keep intact anyway.

The ‘R’ version looks nice. The website is just plain annoying though, it takes too long to load and I’m on a quick connection.

They had one in at Broadmeadow that was ready to be picked up and they said they had an R in the week before but it only lasted a day or two and got snapped up. I reckon it’d be a great bike to set up for riding up the cape or even rides like TB’s organising. I’ll just keep dreaming

BTW there’s a fair amount of discussion over on the adv site including a thread in the aussie forum. Some pricey parts on it!
