I will not be riding it at Michaux this year. It's brand new, I'm not used to it, it has no skid plate, etc. The 450 is my Michaux bike.


I will be selling the Wee soon. I think it's over 80k, now. No real issues with it, but a few items I want to clean up before I put it up for sale.

Does he have an 1190 maybe? The 1090's came out in late 2017.

Opps, you're right. Actually, he has the 990. I knew it was one generation prior to the 1190 (which another friend has.) Also had a 950SE that he just sold. I was confused about the lineage until I saw some of them together and could see the differences. I confused his 950SE & 990 all the time until I finally saw them together and the light bulb in my head went off. I thought he had only one big bike for the longest time :shrug:

Very nice bike and a serious adventure machine. These bikes will consume all your motorcycle money on protection parts, luggage racks and bags, and electrical farkles. Might as well get started with all the UPS deliveries so you can get it off in the woods.

The little 2fiddy moves right along.
