Wanna be.... here... I have been a dual sport fan for a while
having owned a 2011 1200 GS adventure and a V-Strom before that.
I now own a 2013 Ducati Hyperstrada and a 2012 BMW S1000RR. I
am in the process of selling the BMW, when sold I will try and
track down a 690. Checked around the Houston area. no dealer had
one.

Hey Newb!
It'll be kinda ironic to have that name several years from now
after you've logged 50k miles on your 690 Enduro and your
lengthy ride reports and modification advice on this site are
universally praised...
But maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. Welcome to 690 Enduro!
There are currently only two 2014 690 Enduro R's in Houston. I
own one and DrBlackbird owns the other. Talk to Ed at Wild West
Motorsports in Katy; last time I spoke with him he said they had
another one coming in April/May. Go there and give him $100 to
hold it. It's refundable if you change your mind. You'll NEVER
find one sitting on the showroom floor in Houston; too few
bikes, too much demand.
When you do manage to find one, PM me. I'm always up for a
ride!

Call Wild West and they said it ain't happening....once I sell
my BMW I will try and track one down.

Good luck! DrBlackbird said he was told by the folks at Wild
West that only 4 690 Enduro's would make their way to Houston.
I just found a 2014 on cycle trader in Lubbock for $10k.

Might be worth picking a dealer you like and seeing if they
would be willing/able to do a trade with another dealer from out
of your area. You may end up paying a bit more for truck
freight but you'd have a bike! And I can attest that it will be
worth it!
