The 690 is not a smooth motor, it is not far off the vibration level of the 640... Having ridden both back to back, there was not much difference between the 2.. That being said, the 690s larger power output is very apparent..
It is funny how there are the 2 different views on travel bikes, some guys feel they need 100+ horsepower and others are happy with 20... I prefer to go more to a midsize lighter bike and at the moment am waiting for someone to put out a 400cc bike so I can replace my aging 640..
