No, but my best friend has. He has ridden off road bikes since he was a little nipper so he can't compare it to a road bike (he has only ridden mine!) but he thought the 990 was surprisingly smooth and cornered great, hiding its weight very well.
Nearest dealer is 40 odd miles away, so less keen now, although sounds like a lot of fun.
K1200s I really quite fancy now if I can justify the cost somehow (and be prepared to deal with the bolts that corrode and shear quite easily it seems).
Or I could just buy a cheap VFR like the one Bob mentioned above to tide me over the winter and then think again ...................

Bit of advice please.
I'm planning on getting a bike soon, but have no kit.
I've been to the local Hein Gericke shop today. It was all very sparkly!
Winter's here so should I go for textiles as opposed to leather? I don't plan on specifically riding in the wet though.
Boots - they recommended a nice looking pair of Alpinestars (c

Checked my CBR's odometer tonight - 450 miles since May 1st. It would be embarrassing were it not the fact I bet Dan has only beaten that by riding on the track (and can't keep his bike vertical on it)
