Got offered a deal I couldn't refuse 2wks ago,traded my 2005 KTM Super Duke with 50,000k's (all done by me) on a runout 2007 Super Duke, the sweetner was they threw in $3500 worth of Akrapovic Evo can's, nice ;)
Anyways, there's a few refinements from the 05, number one being I now have 18.5ltrs vs 15ltrs, now this I can live with.They've improved the fuelling & apparently the fuel economy,nice again. Have increased the rake which is very noticable (makes it more stable in the twisties @ speed) & improved the suspension, all where obvious by the time I'd ridden from Auckland to Rangariri (sp), Also the seating positon feels to be more relaxed, they've changed the front mask & speedo & rev counter aswell, no more orange lunch box up front for me.
Had her first service last Friday so she's all mine now,rev's & all. All my bolt on bling from the 05 bolted straight on, even the 05's gel seat & tank bag, noice.
Long story short,very happy camper, so thanks Bruce @ AMPS for sorting this deal out & making the transition soo easy !!!
Have to update my profile piccy with a more apporpriate arty shot, just need for the weather to improve to get the required background.
One thing though, it comes with Dunlop 208RR's & the bloody things are balling up on the road, not going to last long @ this rate. Saying that the original Diablo on the 05 was toast @ 3000k's :crazy:
