Super Duke vs ZX10R

[DMNTD]

Well yesterday I finally got to through the Super Duke through some nice tasty twisties.
First impressions? OMFG!!!!!! :gob: Sure I had already done 1400+kms on the Duke since buying it a week or so ago but they consisted of "commuting/touring kms.
I've found to my surprise that I can ride this Super Duke faster,smoother,with more comfit,leave sportsbikes behind and have far more fun than what I've been able to do on either of my ZX10's. Shocked does not quite cover it TBH.
All this has lead me to query why I own a sportsbike :shutup:
Finally I've found a motorcycle that doesn't require an earth shattering speed to get the fix I'm after!

[blueblade]

Thats what going naked does for ya:yes:

[MyGSXF]

:shit: There's something wrong with the bike in your profile pic though DMNTD.. :confused: it's missing the front end... :bye:

funny, I was in the dealer for these on Saturday and got offered a VERY good price on a brand new one: in the badass matt black I like as well. Did you ride a Buell as well? they're my two choices in "fantasy choose my next bike" competition

I had ridden a couple pf Buells,Speed Triples prior to buying the Duke.
The Duke suited my riding mindset better :innocent:
Oh btw...you need one :yes:



Who are you and what have you done with Chris?......:gob:
Meeeeeow?




They certainly are hooligan toys :dodge:ENJOY !
Can't help but enjoy mate! The sound of the vtwin being abused via the Akropovic system I got is divine.
Next time we're out riding "together" I'll keep it in 2nd for a while so you can hear it :dodge: :scooter:

[Morcs]

*Surely puts me ahead of Skidmark*

[Waylander]

[skelstar]

I very interested in the riding a faired/nekid bike hard debate...

[98tls]

Afew more for ya mate................

[BarBender]

You certainly looked like you were having fun yesterday.

[hedgier1]

maybe if you sell your zx10 to skidmarks he will learn to ride properly. He needs a mentor chris. Oh hang on another thought just happened. Don't give bike to Skidmarks. You can use it as a track bike. hehehe just move those feet. Flaming Gorilla.

[jtzzr]

You certainly looked like you were having fun yesterday.

Oh sure rub it in could`nt see you guys for dust ,but for sure that`s a awesome piece of machinery and the fluffy dice just tops it off , Fark the carbon , when you have fluffy dice, Nice ride Chris.

Hmmmm well as a follower of both bikes, lol I think that I like the 10 better mate, that duke makes it very tempting to slip up the inside:dodge: it is so damn skinny:love:

Your 10 sounds to scary to get to close too and spits and stuff. Just nasty:love:

The duke's exhaust note makes me fell like I am at home, umm no hang on I mean I like the Duke better :love: Nope guess only you will really find the x factor.

I luv my lttle chainsaw for lots of differnt reasons:love:

Lets do some footage and compare:innocent: :rockon:

[gijoe1313]

Neyahahah! I knew exposing DMNTD to nekkid bikes long enuff would cause him to go naturalist! :devil2:

Mate, I can feel your enthusiasm from here! Good to hear you been having your fun - from what I could see from you riding before, I can't imagine you giving the duke even more! :eek5:

Hope you stocked up on those tyres, sounds like you'll be wearing them out in next to no time at all! :yes:

PS - Taken it off road yet? :lol:

[Babelfish]

PS - Taken it off road yet? :lol:

Jesus, is he ever on the frikkin road? And it is a bulldozer for fucks sake!

[DMNTD]

Lets do some footage and compare:innocent: :rockon:
Long weekend coming up G and I hear a Coro blat is a coming...sounds a go to me mate




Hope you stocked up on those tyres, sounds like you'll be wearing them out in next to no time at all!
LOL...yeah it weird cause I'm going to have to buy more front tyres than rear :mellow:

[_Gina_]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Well done that man, take a leaf outa the Girlygirl styles book of life......Ride the bike hard and clean it later......gives you and the bike street cred aye ;)

[Dazza]

Fair enough mate............enjoy it eh..........what i wouldnt give to punt that thing over the road from fox to hokitika.........Watch out for me heading South on Friday, if the West is dry that's the way where going :yes:

[Dazza]

Afew more for ya mate................
Stop posting photo's of the carbon Duke (LC4) but your right you can get all that shit & more for the Super Duke. Carbon fibre is soooo early 2000 (saying that I wouldn't mind the bigger carbon fibre tank for the SD) give me matt plastic any day !!! :rockon:

Zackery!

Tip: don't take one for a test ride unless you have some cash to buy one! I took one out and had a blast to! +++FUN

[Coyote]

I'm more interested in something with earth shattering speed, ZX10R is still the bike for me. Someday....

[Colapop]

Straight speed is a dragstrip thing innit? Don't you like corners?

[skidMark]

Straight speed is a dragstrip thing innit? Don't you like corners?

yeah true

but to me a zx10r corners nice. and goes like a african sprinter on P

[vamr]

Carboned out duke 2...mmmm.

Can't wait to go overseas at the end of the year and pick up something akin.

[Brett]

I am actually considering one when I am tired of the gsxr now! What awesome machines. Will have to pop into Auckland Power Sports or whatever they are tomorrow for a perv.

[DMNTD]

Oh don't get me wrong man...my ZX10 goes faster than a straight streaker through the Blue Oyster Bar and corners wickedly....BUT not as well as he Superduke...plus it's good for 250kmph.
It's not as if I ride the ZX slow either

Well as mentioned don't test ride one before you're sick of your current bike...or you will be

[NZsarge]

If you're in the market for this type of bike I reckon the hypermotard from Ducati would be a must test ride :yes: Aprilia are also bringin out some big bore hypermotard stile machines soon too.

I don't about the size of the hypermotard fuel tank, but it looks pretty bloody small. The Aprilia Shiver with it's all new 750 90 degree vee twin looks pretty bloody tasty:yes:

You're right about the tank size...'bout 13 litres I think! Prilla are also bringing out a 1000cc (i think) version fo the Shiver too...:drool: Tasty!

[terbang]

You speaka my language there Chris. Got a bit Ho Hum doing 300Kays all over the place on my ol Busa, cos thats about all it did above my current ride. I went the big trailie way (knobbly tyres and all) and there are bitumen roads (mmmm the twisty ones) that I can now, surprisingly, travel way quicker over than I ever could on the old girl. Get the added bonus as well of a few roosties in the gravel and a far more comfortable ride with great visibility. Oh and with lower gearing than the donor (TL1000), it'll still whip up to 230 Kays (so they tell me) pretty damn quick too.

[Sanx]

Low down grunt, good handling and nice wide bars. Easy to ride quick and a shit load of fun to boot. Such a dilemma, ain't it Chris.

Give us a bell if you're going out on the weekend and it's dry. Wouldn't mind finally getting to do the Coro run on the Blade.

[skelstar]

But doesn't fanging around at 180-200km/h get tiring after a while? Big reason why I'm making the move away from nekids very shortly.

[DMNTD]

Will do sir...Sunday or Monday sound good to you?

Exactly mate,exactly! Sure I can see if one has never had he luxury of doing such speeds so easily why one would been keen to have it on tap but it does get mundane after a while.

Nah not really but then again I was single for a while so have a good grip on me :mellow:
If I wanted to go fast over a long period of time I'll take either the RSVR or ZX10 out for the day but to be honest I'm a bit bored with the constant high speed buzz...been there,done that. Also I prefer tight twisties and for the life of me I was unable to do 180kmph around a 55km corner :shutup:

[terbang]

Yup just as tiring as head down and arse up for a 6 footer trying to stay behind a tiny screen at 200 Kliks plus.

[Devil]

You'll be back!

Stick with the nekkids or semi-nekkids.

Or buy a Vstrom

Fair enough. We don't have too much to choose from around here in the way of twisties. If I lived close to Coro or North Auck then I'm not sure I'd be that worried either.

Tell me, would you push the front end of the Duke as hard as you'd push the 10R/RSVR?

[DMNTD]

Tell me, would you push the front end of the Duke as hard as you'd push the 10R/RSVR?

Hmmmmm....given that I'm riding it faster/harder through the twisties I'd say yes I am pushing the Duke's front harder. I had to replace the front tyre this morning after last sunday's wee jaunt.
When living up North I used to push my ZX10 HARD through the sweepers etc but still I feel more planted on the S'Duke

I know you didn't ask me but my previous bike was a 2000R (first of the blinged Aprilias, not counting the SP) & it just feels wrong for the first few rides (Super Duke) & then she feels soooo right, very planted !! Once I set the suspension for my lard arse it's all good :dodge:

Yeah, I did know you've had an RSVR :) ...I get the 'just feels wrong' every time I get back on my bike after riding a sportsbike.

Gonna be a year more before my budget will stretch that far...but would be nice.

[Deviant Esq]

What a cool thread. As Gijoe said, I can feel your enthusiasm from here! Messes with the sprotsbike rider's brain, that's what it does. Fsck it. :mellow:

[ZeroIndex]

Hey DMNTD, have you had any run-ins with the Police on the KTM yet? If so, how does it 'get away' compared to the ZX?

[Sanx]

He drops my name and squeal's like a bitch :shutup:

I heard he just uses that secret Mason handshake.

[Monkeyboy]

Bugger me! I was about to post a thread asking if anyone a) has a Super Duke and b) whatsitlike?

I have a 2002 CBR954RR do you think I should get a 'Duke? How say you???

[ZeroIndex]

I think the definite answer is, if you can afford a S'Duke, get it

[Sanx]

Na he tries to shake something else and the Masons dont allow homos in :dodge:

Unlike the Police :bleh:

[boomer]

Unlike the Police :bleh:

aint that the truth....:whistle:

[Colapop]

No not gay sex allegations... Boomer isn't a copper...

[Nonbeliever]

Rapists,Homos and goat/chicken/pig/horse fuckers!!

Great role models are the NZ police force

[Sanx]

So now theres gay sex allegations coming out? I take it they were from oh 1885? Im sure we can dig them up and have a fair trial.:shit:

I'm sure it would be a very fair trial. Gay sex and Honda-owning might be legal now, but it certainly wasn't in 1885 so it's only fair that the cops concerned are jailed for life, after having been castrated so they can't enjoy their time inside.

Anyway ... what gay sex allegations are therse? I hadn't heard of any - I was just shit stirring :dodge:

[Sanx]

Rapists,Homos and goat/chicken/pig/horse fuckers!! Great role models are the NZ police force

Erm. Yeah. Thanks for that.

Just out of interest, why does being homosexual immediately mean you can no longer be a role model? I can understand the rest of it ... but it's hardly like the entire Police force is made up of rapists or goat/chicken/pig/horse (you forgot rabbits) molesters.

[ZeroIndex]

Why exactly has this gotten so far off topic? We're talking about Kawasaki's and KTM's and 'Kool bikes'... now what does the KKK have to do with Honda's?

[avgas]

Hey DMNT.....whens the turbo comming?
