Superduke demo?

[Clivoris]

Be good to compare the new Tuono to my Ape. All of those bikes have good reps though. Not one of them can I afford...but the Superdukes are good buying second hand at the moment. I just don't like the way the name sounds when you say it with a lisp.

The Moto Morini looks the best in the firs four pics and the Speed Triple looks the best in the second Four

Cept for the cheap brake fluid container...... surely they could of put a nice one on there since it stands out more on a naked bike , like the naked MV where the brake and clutch containers mirror the shape of the speedo assembly....

The super duke and the aprilia have the same "cheap" setup as the Speed Triple my rose tinted lens wearing freind

But a Buel has something major against it!

they do, they are also wearing mirrors which masks it to a degree.......

now that is a great looking bike, but a bit on the expensive side..

Just spoke to Fergus at TSS and they are getting a KTM Superduke demo and a apprillia tuono demo at the end of February...so that sounds like us then..can take both out on the same day and ride them back to back..we should get two more guys to take out a Buell and a Moto morini at the same time...then we can really have fun.

Count me in for a demo on the Tuono.

I really like the look of that bike.

sweet...come February i'll see if I can get these bikes for a half a day so we can really compare all aspecs of the bikes and put up some good reviews.

You could come up to AMPS, and try the Speed triple too. Even the Moto Morini Corsaro in New Plymouth.

Had a look at the Superduke and the Tripple at Manfield on aterday. They were parked next to one another so i had a good opportunity to compare the two on looks and i like the SD way more. Won't bother testriding the tripple..just don't like it enough to buy it.

i took the super duke 990 out for a play last week... awesome hooligan toy that is , small, compact, noisey, vibrating mass of torque.. i'd trade in on one.. maybe even the big brother !

i'll find my post.. one minute

* edit, here

I made a point a couple of times to take note of how she rattled, but only sationary..which, thinking about it now, obviously wasn't an issue when i was riding her. When stood still, she did rattle but nothing untoward, the mirrors were still usable and my bones and teeth weren't chattering No biggy on the wrists, but like i said in the link, i'd need to have her for longer as i was very stiff in an unfamiliar position.

Did you see that current model off-white example at the sprints last time?

Very very hot looking bike.

But yeah, that superduke was also nice. Huge sound. I could hear him just behind me for one session.

Hey Darkman as Lou has already posted AMPS have 2 SuperDukes 2nd hand (well they did before Christmas) sitting on the floor. I've just come back from 10 days in the SI and covered 5400km's in 7.5 days. Mine now has 24500k's on the clock & still going strong. The most fun I've had on 2 wheels (or one) with my pants on .
