Very nice choice! If we were to upgrade the DR's that's what we would go for. Much lighter, full off-road suspension and tons of power. 10k interval for valves is nice too. Congrats and we know you'll enjoy it 👍😎
WOW dude!! I'm jealous, John and I watching this from Columbia. I hope you start a build thread on ADV. Did you call it a 640? I hope it's ready by the time we get back!
+MotoMavericks Sitting here on Graveyards reading through your Ride report. Looks like you guys are having a blast. but making me think twice about loading my bike on a boat. I think I'll stick to dry land aha.
I'm in hardcore bike shopping mode right now. I've been leaning towards a CB500X because I can upgrade with the Rally Raid kit. However, I think the 690 is SUPER SEXY and has been an all time favorite of mine. So, if you had one primary mode of transportation and that was the 690, could you live with it everyday? I'm sure the off road would be a blast, it's the daily commute/grind that worries me.
Excellent choice!!! I have a 2008 690 Enduro and it's an absolutely fantastic bike. Can't wait to see how your build progresses.

Nice

How much did your other bike weigh , and what's the new one weigh?
+RKR (Random Knight Rider) The 950 was about 500lbs and the 690 after I am done with it will be about 380lbs
Holy crap that's a huge difference. Nice.
