great bike.. had 2 of them already with my 950 🔥

[@DSR1YT]

I’d love to test out the 950 🤙

[@speedtoast]

Great review! Looks like it has a good balance of SM rawness with a bit of tech added in🤔. Doubt you'll ever find a seat worse than the 690😁😆!

[@DSR1YT]

That 690 stretched things that shouldn’t of been stretched 🤣

[@Robbiemoto]

I’ve test rode both the mono and 690. Couldn’t really call either better than the other. More up to date electronics on the Ducati which should give KTM a nudge but saying that the 690 is a little more raw but does exactly what it’s meant to do. I had a grin riding both bikes.

[@DSR1YT]

I get what you mean mate, you end up splitting hairs really with these two bikes, other than the electronics side like you mentioned. Adult kid bikes aren't they :)

[@Robbiemoto]

@@DSR1YT totally. Grin factor all day long on both bikes. I really liked riding the mono but for me and yes I do own a 690 so maybe a little biased 😁 I’d have the 690 over the mono. I’m a gadget guy so do like up to date electronics and better screen on the mono but there’s something about the 690 and honestly wouldn’t swap for it.

You can't beat a super Moto they are just meant for fun fun fun oh and fun 👍

[@DSR1YT]

If only they came with a some what comfy seat 🤣🤦🏻

[@mart7798]

i do like this bike,i just couldnt justify buying one.too nice to use for work in winter,so would be a popping out for a hoon bike for me.nice comprehensive review matt,keep up the good work.

[@DSR1YT]

ah yeah its a Sunday hooligan bike all day long, no DRZ or XT660

[@volodymyrshoniia2424]

You change the announcement post title when I remind, but forget to change this one! And you gotta call it a mono!

[@DSR1YT]

Haha well I tried didn’t I 🤣. Don’t worry I’ll change this one as well. Thanks for looking out for me 😁🤙

[@Tea-ei1cl]

[@DSR1YT]

[@MegaGuy2010]

A single cylinder bike will never be attractive 🤮

[@DSR1YT]
