Highside, is the Superduke the "funnest" bike you ever owned?
Yep - I'd have to say that it is. I've had a lot of "fun" bikes, but this bike seems to have missed the memo that civility is a requirement for a streetbike. I'm concerned though, that the new bike will have all of the electronic crap on it that most new bikes are coming out with. I'll wait and see, but it will have to be amazing to actually be more fun than the old one.....

Nope - it's a twin based upon the RC8 motor.

You know what I think I was in Aprillia mode there. The RC8 motor is near the same as the rotax I think if it is all I can say is WAHOO is that gonna be fun!!!! I have the 1125 rotax mill in my machine it is like a freight train on meth and the 1190 version in the new Buells well that is some serious power there!!!!!!!!

It looks so much cooler with the orange trellis!
The one KTM I've always wanted is the original Duke. The 620 labeled 609 that came out in the mid 1990s; the one that looks like a cartoon character with buckteeth.

It looks so good in California. I Calgary, the salty muck in the winter would be dripping down on the prized vehicles below.

I want to ride this again.
And, of course, I'm trusting after that beautiful V7 Stone.
