Hi All,

I am located in Melbourne Australia, and I just got a new 2010 plate Super Duke 990R (Old dealer stock), and am loving it! Upgraded from a 1996 TRX850, what a massive change, the Duke is rocking my world, I can't believe how much better it is in every way that all my previous bikes.

I am riding it everyday to work, and getting out whenever I can to take a trip through the twisty hills near to me.

Cheers,
Scott

Hi Scott,

Welcome aboard. You'll enjoy. Did you see an edition of Rapid recently that featured a friend's R?

Cheers

I am located near the CBD in Melbourne, but it's not too far to Reefton's Spur!

I am planned a few mods already, but I commute every day, so I don't want to go too wild. I am looking at new mufflers firstly, then reflash with TuneECU, maybe a stiffer rear spring, and possibly a new air box.
Have to get these mods past the missus though, she was nice enough to let me buy the bike, but is less happy about more mods.

Hey jmann, didn't see the SDR in Rapid, will have to look at back issues and try to find it.
