Or a variant with wire-spoked wheels and more suspension travel? An awesome thing would be a sort of baby 690 Enduro R for light off-road use.

I’d also like to see a real TFT display with smartphone connectivity. Even when it was new, the old LCD looked dated.

I personally hope they keep it as raw and simple as they can. Maybe better fueling and we are done. Not all bikes have to be computers on wheels.

Standard would be nice to have a bi-directional quickshifter. And a better seat, please, for the love of all that is holy.

I think it would be nice to see a bit of aero elements added, like small winglets. It will make it look more aggressive and modern and help high-speed stability.

How about a hybrid system? Get a single-cylinder engine; just add a small electric motor for low-speed smoothness and a power boost when requested.

I’ve seen a 690 with a huge car stereo system on it. The guy said it was for 'motivational riding music,' but it was ridiculous!

This dude had chopped the tail and added clip-ons to his 690 and called it a 'cafe racer.' It was so uncomfortable and totally ruined the character of the bike.

I have seen a 690 with a sidecar attached. So it kind of defeated the whole purpose of having a nimble single-cylinder bike, but I guess it was unique!

In my area someone bought massive off-road tires for their 690 and jacked the suspension up. It resembled a monster trucked version of a Duke!

I've seen a 690 converted to electric power, and that was the craziest mod I've seen. That thumper engine lost all the charm, but it was a cool engineering project.

A guy covered his 690 in rhinestones. It’s like a disco ball on wheels, more likely to blind other drivers on sunny days!

I once saw someone with a 690 with a custom-built fairing that made it look like a mini MotoGP bike. It was impressive craftsmanship, but useless on the street.

Performance intake and fueling dongle for Rottweiler. In low-speed handling, it's like night and day difference.

I just learned to live with it. After a while you get used to the bike's character, and you can work around the jerkiness. It's part of the 690's charm!

My 690 did wonders with a full exhaust system and a proper tune. It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot more manageable now.

On my 2014 model, adjusting the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) helped a lot. It’s a bit fiddly, but definitely worth it.

I put a quick shifter on, and it actually made low-speed riding a bit smoother. It’s fun for faster riding, plus!

A larger rear sprocket made low-speed maneuvers easier. It gives up a bit of speed at the top, but it’s worth it for city riding.

The O2 sensor eliminator kit made a difference. It allows you to run a little richer, which rounds out the power delivery.
