Why not go for the 950SM if you want a street tard? They're better looking and more powerful than the new 690 SMC. They added 25-30lbs to the new 690 compared with the old 625.
The electric start on my KTM works better than the one on my Honda BTW.

If I was to think about the 950, I would probably just get the 990 Super Duke, that frakin' bike talks to me.
I don't think I could get used to the front end of that 690 so I will have to see what the future hold for that bike, bet they don't do that for '08.
Seems the SXV is out of the question though, reliability makes that bike a no go.
The Husky is probably the front runner as far as new bikes go, but I am seriously considering letting some one else take the new bike sticker hit and go with a low milage used unit. I am going to look at a KTM 640 this weekend.

NO Spokes!
I should be able to keep that under control
At least you wouldn't have to worry about a catch can.
Super Duke
I really like the displacement # on this bike 999 cc

Of course hooliganisim of this sort should never be practiced on the street.
The latest (May '07) issue of Cycle World has a great write up on it. 1/4 mile times of 10.76 and great handling. Looks to be a fun bike.

The search for a bike is over, the search for Sumo wheels begins.

How much is Mr. Myers paying you to advertise?

Nice bike Dave. You gonna race it and turn your YZ back into dirt?
KTM's are too slow for racin'
If its street legal lets go play in the hills tommorow.
DOT knobbies and rimlocks make for a less than stellar ride at highway speeds, once I get some 17's It'll go like the wind. What gearing are you running?
14/44 is stock for the smr. I am running 13/44 pulls harder and still has a good top end.
Mmmmm... nice. Have to agree on the Super Duke - its on top of my "to-buy" list. Almost did it on Saturday. Nice 525, you going to get a better seat for commuting?
