yeah i love her bike but i don't quite have �4500 to spend...

[quote=jasext]Having owned and ridden both on the mucky stuff a simple answer is NO .

The 690 is a lot lighter and more powerfull ,you would need to take about 40kg off the Z and add 20+ more bhp .

i do quite like the x-challenge but they're rare as hens teeth at the moment..
