I’ll get one if you get one.
I reckon the smaller engine might even make it more fun round town. Though I fear above 60mph you’d miss it.

I had a 690 loaner when I took my 390 to be serviced. It might have been limited/detuned or whatever due to being a loaner but I was proper underwhelmed. I thought I'd be gutted to hand it back and take my 390 away but nah.
You don't have to work the gearbox like you do on the 390 but then, that's half the fun innit and only managed to get an extra 15 or 20mph out of the top end of it ragging it back along the a9 to get it back in time.

Great fun to ride although I found the gearshift to be a bit vague compared to the 690. Question is do I chop in my 690 duke from 2010 with 17k on it for a brand new 390? I do love my 690 but I tend to ride it a bit ‘progressively’ and rarely go outside the north circular let alone the M25.
