I was thinking to buy Aprilia Dorsoduro (perfect line),but after a few opinions from profesionals,I change my mind.Aprilia and most of the italian’s bikes have perfect design,but I don’t belive them.Now I colect information for the KTM supermoto 690 prestige with akrapovic exhaust and front from Duke and I think that I’ll buy it soon.

Am doing a slight conversion on the front beak. cutting it back to just below the head light then removing the small mud guard and fitting the full size carbon in its place. cost £100. it should stop all the road crap from filling the radiator fins.My mate has done it to his and the bike looks really good. will post a pic. when done.

Just taken delivery of 690 supermoto r with the orange frame. fantastic ride, so light so flickable. better than my vfr800, r1150r. love the riding position. even kept the missus happy by telling her i am down grading to a 650. At 61 years old this bike makes me feel 20. will keep for a year then go for the 990.

I’ve got the only one of the 2008 R models shipped within 40miles of my town.

The bike is awesome. I traded in my 1999 CBR900RR that i had owned since 2002 and personally put over 28k miles on it.

Do not regret it at all. On the straights, its a little hard to keep up w/ my friends on the sportbikes, but when its cornering time, im usually on their heals giving them grief or 45seconds + ahead of them.

Fun is in the corners ;o)

Looks tons better in the flesh (or metal). I put 50 miles on mine so far. Nice to have something radical you wont see anyone riding where I live. I love it…
