    950 is carburetted - 990 is fuel injection

    a few extra cubes and horsepower , but basically the same machine.

    Son and grandson of Dakar winning bike (circa 2002).
    2011 Triumph Tiger 800 - "Black Pussy" - MMMM Nice !!!
    2000 Suzuki DRZ400S - "Ol' Yella" - very bright
    2011 Peugeot V-Clic 50cc - "Scoot" - It's my wife's, an enjoyable ride.

    I have a house , but I can't guarantee it's safe !!

    990 Fi slightly bigger lump and slightly more power

    other than that and the pain schemes there isnt a great deal of difference

    both bloody good bikes, it has been said that the carbs model is slightly easier to live with than the Fi because the Fi is supposed to be a like a hair trigger. but this is easilly remedied with a G2 throttle cam,

    ive the 990 and love it to bits but if i wasnt in the situation to have had a new bike , i wouldnt have baulked at the 950 at all
    Despacio. Hay m'as tiempo que vida
