Hi all,

Pickup my 08 Superduke last week, have put in my Benelli 1130 Tre-k (which I want to forget). Got out for a ride of the first time today, managed around 150 mile of twisty damp dales roads and loved every second. Riding like a loon I also got 120miles before reserve lit up! Needless to say this is the bike I should have bought years ago!

Previous KTM' include 02' 640 supermoto and 625 smc, and this feel every bit as lively, without the 40 mile range!

Throttle is a bit twitchier then I would like though.... the bike is stock apart from pazzo levers (or similar). I rode a friends early model bike a few years back and it was a box of mental frogs. This one isn't the nut case I was expecting? maybe its the stock cans and map? not at all disappointed mind.

Anyway, hello and goodbye for now!

Hi Honrico,

Glad you like the bike, I live in Malton ( the heart of biking roads) so I hope to see you out there sometime.
The throttles are a bit twitchy, apparently you can get a custom throttle tube to soften the initial opening. Or just nail it !
Get some pictures up ;0)
