What's That Spell?!?

Kronreif and Trunkenpolz, Mattighofen apparently...

The ninjette gets a big brother. Sorry, but there's no angle from which to photograph a 990 Adventure and that makes it less ugly.

And finally, if Imperial storm troopers rode motorcycles...

Trying to decide which panniers to get. I don't like the high fender on these, but I'll wait to see how it works out, this is definitely more of a function-over-form bike.

It rides like a dream. I had about an 80 mile ride home from the dealer and I felt fresh and ready to keep going when I got home. Not bad for a first ride!

It sure is nice to have some power on tap, even though I have 500 miles left before I can twist the throttle into the fun zone.

greg737 · June 10th, 2012, 08:14 AM

Come on guys, if you can't say something nice...

(here's my attempt at it): Wow, it sure looks functional.

CynicalC · June 10th, 2012, 10:42 AM

Yeah there's a couple I see around the city that I have a boner for. I think it's just the bags and crash bars. I really want to hop on one but it's too much bike for my needs in the city. I think I could get down on the 450SMR though.

Indy250r · June 11th, 2012, 02:50 PM

Ok, this is about the best angle.

Alex · June 12th, 2012, 09:44 PM

Nice bike!

/moved to the lair

Vergil · June 12th, 2012, 09:58 PM

That last angle isn't too bad, I'd ride it for sure!

It is a little much in town, the ninjette is better for sure bopping around town.

Further thoughts: The power is ridiculous! (and I'm still stuck under the 6500 rpm limit)

Kevin2109 · June 13th, 2012, 04:09 PM

Well they must have fired them because they make this sexy mother ****er

rz3r0 · June 15th, 2012, 02:42 AM

Hey congrats on your Adventure 990, it definitely is different looking. Ride safe!

Indy250r · June 15th, 2012, 07:46 PM

Thanks RZ, this thing is a dream. The power is unbelievable and it's as comfortable as sitting on the couch.

I have the KTM low profile gel seat on the way. This thing is not 32" inseam friendly.

You just have to get a good running start and hop on once it's balanced.

That's what I'm doing until I get the low seat!
