Re: which supermoto?
690 hands down for the amount of use it will get alone..
did 480kms on mine one day.. Felt like I was butt raped by an entire midget. Husa would be 5x more maintenance.. Husa are a once in a while bike..

The ktm 690 is the yoke to get for that money. There is one in mega bikes if ya can get the price down it looks clean.

Re: which supermoto?
660/625 share the same carb.. its the 640 that didnt wasnt it.?.
The 690 is obviously going to be full of electronics and all that.. but put it this way.. Its more powerful. It gets twice the tank range of your 660. its got 6 gears. Its the 2nd gen lc4 engine.. it doesnt feel like a vibrator.. its not as raw.. its well fucking able too.. mental bike.. Id love another just not an option at the moment... my next will be a 990sm anyway id imagine.. Maybe a DRZ or older KTM for down in Cork just for my Jaunts up the hills in west cork.. thats how the SM is meant to be used (for me anyway) To view pics on this biker's forum - your post count must be 2 or greater. Course it will be full of electrics.. But they dont give hassle..
