SMT or ADV

"I struggled with the same question...
Finally went with the SMT."

The 990 supermotos (in my case SMT) are great street bikes. I do ride on dirt roads and goof around but they are definitely street bikes.
I love my SMT for the comfort and versatility, if you've...

You could solve ALL those problems with a 990 SMT. Fueling is good, bike runs smoothly and the tall first gear is not an issue, I can see most of the engine so oil changes are easier though I haven't...

I looked at the 990 SMT in the spring. I considered selling my 06 950 Adv. but changed my mind. With the touring screen, super moto mirrors and bar risers added there's no windblast issues. In the...
