I have a 690 SMCR and a 890 Adventure S. I recommend the 890 adventure for you. Buy comp and collision coverage. These bikes are expensive to repair. You live near a great riding area for the 890 adventure. The S model and the R model are very different. I'm 5'8 170 lbs and find the S model is the right size for me. My ride buddy is 6 feet tall, R version fits him better. The S has less suspension travel and the front forks are not adjustable. I ride 80% asphalt but like having good dirt road capability. I paid an extra $550 to have the Rally Pack turned on. This includes heated grips and seat capability activated but you have to buy the grips and seat extra.
