I was finding it too big to ride off road and I'd just had another operation so I was on crutches for nine months. It certainly didn't get retired, four friends have owned it since me, I'm not sure who has it now though but it's still on the road with over 65,000 miles . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 13 hours ago, boboneleg said: I had an Orange 950, a Black 950 and them a Blue 990 Dakar Very tasty that Bob, I had the standard 990 with some Ackropovic cans etc and black panniers. Fantastic bit of kit but thirsty when ridden as intended Tried it off road a few times but it was waaaaaay too much so I bought a cheap WR250F to twat around the Peak District. Did loads of trips on the 990 including to Malta and back for a mate’s wedding. Sold it back in 2011 and only a few weeks ago the bloke I sold it to contacted me through Facebook and said he still had it and had not one bit of trouble either. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at it it's shorter as well. I'm pretty sure that the last of the 950's used the same guard as the 990. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
