I'll take the 750 over the 900. Weight savings is huge and I won't miss the power (I, fortunately, have an XR for that).

m mill its like 40lbs and once you change the exhaust it's more like 20. Plus, it has the semi dry clutch, improved internals, and traction control. If you have the 750 not much of an upgrade but if you don't I'd get the 900

Are Brembos a requirement for a good bike? In my opinion, brakes are brakes as long as they meet the technical specs for good brakes - large braking surface, large rotors with good heat dissipation, etc...

Don't remember. I think you should use the on/off red button or swipe through the menu.

You should get a 180-200 km range out of the fuel tank so, why not? Not as comfortable as a standard naked bike for touring but better than a single and enough fun to ride. What other choices are you considering?

First of all, thank you for your interest. Second, I am considering 690 duke 2018 new and hypermotard 939 2016 used. So I have ridden the 701 and has an amazing motor. Nimble, light, too much character, but a totally uncomfortable seat. Also its dash is a joke. From my point of view is a hardcore supermoto. On the other hand the duke 690 which might be more comfortable and better equipped, is not available for test ride. It is very hard for me to buy a bike without even riding it. Of course I know that it has been replaced by the 790, so it will be a 9k euro discontinued bike. I have also ridden the hyper. It is a weapon with lots of power and I found the seat acceptable, but it is expensive and I won’t bother buying it new. The dash is outdated and below average for its price. The bike needs first gear for filtering at low speeds and I believe that it will crumble apart during summer season.

@@kpanagos I think that 690 Duke or 790duke are the best options for you as commuter and weekend riding. 701 is really the ultimate bike (I own mine last 3 years, and I had 690enduro before), it's pretty tall, pretty nimble, more ultimate in corners, it eats oil, rubber and chains just on a breakfast, it's 100% hooligan. I think that 790 is the best for your needs. Dorsa is quite good too, but you will need more skills in corners. If it's your first bike I'd rather recommend 790 or 690duke, and I'm more on 790 side.

Panagos Kag I drove my 1200 dd to Crete... Switzerland-Ancona-Patras... Piraeus-Heraklion... and spent about 8 Months living in Sissi near Vrachasi... The tank is small but manageable... of my three Aprilias... the Dorsodura was my favorite! Never a problem with the heat or cold.

You have a keen eye for details. I must come up with a better solution when riding the RSV-4. :D Actually, it's my racing suit. I have an S1000RR for the racetrack and the logos are huge. Thanks for watching.

It had an error. We noticed it just after publishing.

Why is the 750 a let down?

Fun fun fun

Oso 11 Have you ridden one then?

I own one. And statisically, he's not wrong. Don't regret selling my Z1000 for it one bit though. It's hilarious.

@Tim Brandt It's 900 cc so yes it is under powered. It's in the same class as the KTM 990 (114hp) and the hypermotard (112 hp)
