Hello, everyone. My name is Matt. I currently ride a Ducati Diavel. I have had all kinds of harleys, & two Vmaxes (gen 1 and gen 2), but I have always had my eye on the Super Duke. Now I am working on choosing a dealer to pre-order the 2017 1290r to park next to my Diavel. Can't wait!

Welcome in.

A Vmax is on my short list of next bikes. Do you have any work done to them? Prefer gen 1 over 2?

Welcome to the insanity !!!!
If your up to a drive i recommend MWR Performance in Steward Florida !!!!
They have done me solid !!!!!
Great to deal with they even make parts for ktm.
Super klean shop n 2 cnc waterjets in the machine shop !!!!!!

Matt,
We are putting together a ride w some of my buds from st Pete n Orlando for Sunday January 29th, departing from LOVES gas station off of I-4 and heading to a restaurant called Gator Joe's. I'll post more info as soon as I get it.
I'll b there on my 990 SDR and there will b at least one 1290.
You are welcome to join us if you want.
Btw, welcome to the forum.

ZDuke, welcome to the forum. I'm sure that you will find the SD of your dreams soon. The 17's seem to have some really nice upgrades. I'm jealous.

Steve, What time do you anticipate arriving at Gator Joe's? (I am assuming this Gator Joe's https://www.gatorjoesocala.com/ ) If you can give me some details, I might be able to get some local riders to join in the fun.

Orange crush,
I'm not sure. I'll inquire and let you know as soon as I have more details.
