Not everyone needs more horsepower to have more fun. If that were the case I would still be on the tuned and built GSRX1000 I previously owned. Back then I was all about the "more, more, more" mindset also. Then when I finally had it all, well that wasn't what I wanted after all.

44 hp is just right for me. That and a great chassis is all I need really.

I already owned a 690. Great bike. It had a lot of issues though and was pretty maintenance heavy. But it wasn't blowing engines like the 390 tends to do.
