I really like it. It looks like a really nice bike. I think the 690 is a nice size for an all-around bike. I rode with a guy on a 690R. He kicked my butt in the woods, we were evenly capable on gravel, and I kicked his butt on the road.

Take a lot of pictures! I am going that way in September with some close friends/family on bikes. We are doing a 10 day ride around lake superior.

The 690 is on my short list.
So is the Husky Terra...
Or a DR400Z or DR650...

Anyone want to do anything around the DSM area on Saturday?
My wife will be in her MSF class all day and I don't want to lounge around at home all day by myself.
Of course my beer fridge does need to be cleared out so that I can refill it with Summer offerings...
