So what's the best super naked currently?

BMW Has DDC. Decent test ride will see.

It really is adaptable and adjustable. All you need to add is a potentiometer to the front to dial up compression settings for the front. I haven't bothered to do so. The bike is a blast with stock settings.

If you want too you can set all to soft via the dash, and its like riding on a compliant cloud.

An awesome piece of kit.

Super Duke GT panniers are $1795.

Interestingly there are no 1290SDRs for sale used on TM. All the others there is. Either they dont sell many or people that have em dont sell em.

There was on in Boyds in Hamilton on Friday last week. Brand new demo one.

That's comparable to luggage for other bikes. What pisses me off is firstly that it's approximately 100 times the cost of making them, and secondly if they're like most other NZ distributors they've just pocketed the luggage component of the purchase price and expect you to pay for it again.

And no, SDRs don't turn up on TM very often. If you want a big fuck off naked torque monster in a sweet handling frame they're sort of the top of the heap, unless your needs had changed dramatically what would you trade one in for?

You are into the high end Euro bikes now lad - you'll pay accordingly. It will be comparable to BMW and the likes if you need to purchase as a accessory.


Wait until you decide you want a rowdy pipe for one ...... Danmoto won't cut it on a top end ride


Check tyre sizes too - just in case the bike you desire runs a oddball size. Several Ducatis come with a 180/60/17 - bloody nice tyre profile but limited (in NZ) choice of rubber and a tad dearer.

On the BMW guys in the US are removing the stock slip on and just fitting a slash cut bit of stainless pipe. The cat is enough to shut it up.

I thought it was the ugliest bike I have seen to date.

Will ride a few next week but I suspect I already know the winner. Question is do I need the Ohlins version?

Ohlins from stock will never be suited unless you're around the 80kg mark...and you're not, are you?

Does wanting to be 80kg count?

I am expecting a trip to Rob Taylor no matter what I get. Prilla is still the one.

In that case I personally wouldn't bother spending the extra. My RSV4 and ZX14 have stock suspenders but well tuned in for me by Dave Moss.
Could it be made even better by spending another $3k? Sure but how fast do you really want to ride on the road?

I really like the Blue one, the factory is too many colours. I feel like on one I would need to wear a onesie. That would not be a good look.

Sat on one of these today, the SE model. Will test ride on Monday if not pissing down.

I think we both know the answer to that question.....
