The frame is orange and that's the important part [evil]

It's likely the only thing wrong with it.

That's what I tell myself each time I think about riding one of the 790's or 890's.
I've ridden a 690 Duke and a 950 ADV.
But now is not the time.

I see something in the Husky 701-901 family as a moto in my future.

The 950adv is great for what it's for but as a street ride it is not fast and does not handle that well compared to a street only machine.

I rode a 950adv and felt it was down on power. I'm used to my 950smr. I got off the adv and back on my smr and about flipped it over with throttle when I pulled back out [laugh]

My buddy, Brad, went from a 950ADV to a 690 Enduro and VASTLY prefers the 690 on the road.

Fair fair, but go try a 1290.
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

A 1290 is A. Whole. Notha. Level.

You betcha!
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

I have a 2018 701SM.  Gobs of fun!  Just as long as you don't need to go over 70 mph for any length of time. It'll do it but it doesn't like it in it's heart.  That 890 Duke is looking pretty interesting, yessir,
