But i had my father drive over and pick it up so i wouldnt have to leave it in a storage unit for a few weeks. I heard it was snowing in spokane yesterday? no good for riding! |

| Fast, Easy, and Old Fashioned ![]() Joined: Sep 2006 From: Spokane I Ride: DR650 | Exactly my thought. I was thinking of getting a Warp9 set, but no cush drive. I might be spending a few hundred more dollars, but I know that I'm getting an easy swap set, new bearings and seals already installed, and no fitment headaches. I can even use a re-geared stock speedo drive, but I think I'm going to get a Vapor. |

| Endorsed Joined: Dec 2011 From: Spokane Valley I Ride: 2010 KTM 690smc, YZ250, CR125, 99' ///M3 | I plan to. First i want to get rid of the 2x4 seat. then the plan is wings exhaust (akra clone) vortex ecu and airbox delete in favor of a pod filter. How do you like the super duke? I've always wanted to ride one. I had considered it but the smc more fits the riding i do. The place I picked up my 690 at had one for sale with every piece of hard parts bling, carbon fiber parts, and a full twin akrapovic setup. it was hard to pass up for only another 2000.00 Last edited by KTM690smc; 01-18-2012 at 01:43 PM.. |

I use the SD as my "touring" bike - basically, if I'm riding more than a couple of hundred miles on a trip rather than a day ride I prefer the SD - though I took the 690 on a trip to No CA last fall - I trailered it to No CA and rode 200 and 300 mile days loving every minute of the twisties. My SD is the bike of choice for touring - hard choice right so the bottom line is you need both. | |
