Knockhill full day trackday on 24th might be worth a look if it's dry.

Holding off on booking this myself untill we see if this rain will ever stop.

Hello there
I'm in the market for a SD so thought I'd join the forum to find out wots good and bad about them I'll be on the look out for the 2008 onwards as it has as u know a bigger tank and a better range , at the moment I ride a Kawasaki ZRX1200R which is a great bike as well anyway I'm off to have a look around...

Hi,

Mine is for sale right now, its an early one but I do have a late tank included in the sale and its a fairly easy swap. I had an 08 before and I prefer the early version. The only thing is the smaller tank.

Let me know if you are interested. Bike is all ready to go.

I'm on my 2nd SD. I think it's the perfect bike for blasting round Scotland's fantastic B roads. Hoping to keep it forever!

Good luck!

{Quote}I'm from Barrhead about 5mins from Paisley but go playing up north most weekends as far up as Maliag which has got to be one of the best ribbons of tarmac anywhere in Scotland......

Hello and welcome.

Looks like a good road that. I might give it a look if I go down near there again, I did a route round Loch Ness a couple of weeks back and turned back across east at Spean Bridge so shouldn't be too much of an add on if I do that ride again.

Welcome matey.

I'm just up the road from you, near stirling.

Usually haunt Sma Glen area or Dukes Pass for a quick blast. Or tracknights at Knockhill. Never been up as far as Maliag. Superduke can do it all though, stunting, trackdays, tight B roads, fast A roads, and can cover a big whack of touring miles with comfort. Never would have believed there was such a complete all round bike out there. And from a mechanical view its super simple and well engineered. You'll love it!

And to think I nearly bought a Tuono too

Welcome. I'm not trying to sell you anything and just make the observation that a lot of people seem to prefer the earlier models. I like the styling of the later headlight cover more but am I'm not so keen on the clocks. The tank range has never been a problem for me on my 2006's (I've got two) as I seem to run out of adrenaline (and need a coffee) way before the fuel runs out

I suppose I'd better get myself a test ride and make my mind up then for it's not so much flat out everywhere because u can't I mean u get past something only to maybe get caught up again with traffic , then if ur in town well ur in town....

Hi Gents

After a bit of research I'm off to view a 990 Superduke next week, an 08 model. I've admired the model from when they first came out. Owned 640 Duke 2 for a while and my pal had a 990SM which I've done a few miles on. Not my only bike so it will be a pure toy(arnt they all?) I'll update next week all being well

Welcome.

Scotland is superb territory for a superduke. I was up there on my 1290 last year and we're going again in May.

Get one - you'll love it.

Hello folks,
A new KTM owner here from just north of Aberdeen, Scotland.

I've just bought a 1290R special Edition. Only had it a few days but managed a couple of hundred miles on it. It's got some grunt!

My other bikes aren't short of poke, but this thing is just a bit more nuts.

Glen.
