I will argue that the newer 990's are more reliable than the carb'd 950's. The 990's throttle response is very good in the 2009-up models and mileage is much improved over the 950 carbs. Follow maintenance schedules and you won't have any issues. Coming off a 690 will make any of the twins seem like a touring bike.

I noticed a strong smell of fuel coming from my 2015 1190 ADV R yesterday. I had only been riding for a few minutes. Just out of my neighborhood to the gas station across the street to fill it up. I noticed it when I put it back in the garage and closed the door. I have check the vent line from the tank to the canister and it is not clogged.
When I bought the R the price difference between a 18 S and a left over 17 R was just too big. Got the R for $4K less than the S. At some point in the future, if budget allows, I may put some new 19/17" rims on it but for now the 21" front works well enough on our crappy roads.

a fair bit of 2nd/3rd gear lane splitting. It normally takes 5.5-5.7g after that. I do carry spare fuel in a 40oz Kleen Canteen SS bottle to be safe. So about 37mile/USG. This is with Shad 47lt top case. Longer trips have resulted in 220-235 miles for the same amount of fuel, so about 41m/USG.

The first few days were a dream. The 1090 IMO is a prefect compromise between a larger ADV bike and a Light Dual Sport. Plenty of motor, great fit, and handling that just doesn't represent a bike of 500 lbs. Now this is where the honeymoon starts to fade .. After a couple of days I noticed some oil on the stock skid.
