Thanks Mcfly. I originally wasn't even going to tag it, and just use it dirt only. I wanted a modern ktm version of dad's 650r, and the 690 was the closest thing still made. I don't regret it one bit. It's a great bike in everything but big ass sand whoops. Decided to go ahead and keep it street legal, though. It's pretty cool getting to legally ride one of my dirt bikes to work. Haha.

In the other thread I started, I put those single track videos up. That's where I'm liking it more than my kx500, and even more than the old 450 I traded in for it. It's just so smooth and deceptively fast when the conditions are good for the suspenders. Fast open stuff is a blast on it too, but the kx500 is equally as awesome there, and better if big g-outs or whoops are present. If the 690 were my only bike, I'd be fine.
