To the OP, I'm surprised you never said anything about the seat; instead you chose to comment on the tank and no saddle bags. I could think of million of other bikes that would tour 100x better than the 690/701.. all of which have MUCH more comfortable saddles, a proper windshield, more fuel capacity, probably a fuel gauge, better instrumentation, probably better engine harmonics, etc
