Being an ex super duke rider

[fatbob]

What do you think of this prototype unveiled recently
Doubt these forks will be standard but I gotta say this looks great fun
Hope it's at the nec

 

[r25sti]

very very nice

 

[Docta13]

I will second that!

 

[pgm]

i like it but then i have had 4 superdukes lol

 

[unionjack]

And past experience shows their prototype bikes are very close to the production bikes. Hope its got a decent sized tank this time.

Id sell my bm for one of them,!!!! Ex superduke owner and they are awesome bikes......

 

[Ducky]

That looks great, wouldn't mind something like that for my next road bike! 8)

Id sell my bm for one of them,!!!!

I wouldnt

Ex Superduke, RC8 & RC8R owner.

Love it as long as the colourscheme changes!!! I would sell my BM for one.

Hate to think how much KTM will rip off their customers for a full Akky system for it. KTM Akky systems are always 3 times the price of other manufacturers Akky systems.

It looks great!! I reckon there are a lot of ex Superduke owners on this site , so they must be good and this one takes it to another level , in looks and likly in performance

Yep, had a couple of SDs and a fandagoed SDR, I even looked into supercharging it. I'd have one of them big boys in a heart beat. In fact I've been waiting for them to stick the 12 lump in for ages! I hope to see the prototype at the bike show too. 8)

Wouldn't sell the Beemer mind. It's a track **** now and a keeper

 

[fatbob]

I wouldn't sell mine either, though I most certainly will get one of these , I can still remember my neck muscles on track days with nowhere to hide
The adventure they've just released also looks like a very sweet bike
My adventures always seemed to be around petrol stations

So what was the tank range Bob?

 

[fatbob]

well i had the particularly **** small tank version and the light tended to come on in the 80's , gotta say after 2 years i genuinely miss the fun i had on that bike!! , hence the interest in the new one.
I would imagine that this too will also be biblically **** on fuel , just like they all are , tuono , streetfighter.. The old one had **** fuelling as well compared to the beemer ( which it cant be)
The way I used the bike was to never have a destination , just get on it and weyhey,
a proper laugh on certain tracks too , ( plop on straights)
