Not sure what that rant is about. You asked for my thoughts about hard bags to Alaska, I gave them to you. RHINO said he thought the KTMs I saw in CA were 690rrs. I went and checked the blog of those guys, and the bikes were 690s. I reported back. I thought they were great bikes, based on what I saw and how they performed. I was particularly impressed with their weight. What am I missing here? Like you, I tend to give more weight to the opinion of those who have used the gear, or, at least, touched it. So explain where the bad behavior is, because I don't see it. Teach me, oh master.
That wasn't a rant. It was a simple observation. The encouraged behavior here is to praise things and not criticize. I did not find 690s to be all that great after owning two of them. Fuel system issues, top end issues, poor steering geometry, lack of fuel capacity unless you hemorrhage cash on aftermarket, etc. Like my old D90, it sure was fun... when it wasn't broken down
To get things back on topic...
