Hi everyone.
I am the proud owner of a 2014 690 as of last week. I found one in Dallas and bought it immediately. My only dual sport experience is on a somewhat street legal 300XC in Cloudcroft, NM last year, and one trip to Big Bend on a 530. Regardless, I knew that I wanted to keep riding/racing my 300 and also start experimenting with the DS world as well. The 690 was an easy choice.
I'm going to break it in next week in Big Bend. I'll post my thoughts afterwards.

Thanks for steering me here Chris!
