    my daily commute consists of 30 miles of traffic lights, heavy traffic and misery OR i can do 18 miles of twisty b roads, i had been toying with the idea of a supermoto or making a mx road legal, someone then suggested the 690 duke.

    Anybody rode one have any feedback on them ?

    thanks

    I've done loads of miles on LC4 640s. They are an absolute hoot, as long as you don't mind engine vibes, low top speed and high seat height. Finish is not great when ridden through winter. A full exhaust and jets were essential to get the best out of the carb'd models. Easy to work on. I have a feeling the modern ones don't have the fully adjustable suspension that they used to have.
