Hi! I am purchasing a 2007 SuperDuke with 2888 miles on it for $5500 this weekend. I am extremely excited! I was going to get a Ducati Scrambler to add to my collection of a R6, which has been customized, and a 300 Vespa GTS--belongs to my wife. My dream bike would be a RC8 or new Superduke. I ran across this deal on craigslist and could not believe the asking price. I talked him down to $5500--sounds like a deal to me.

I couldnt find a lot of information on the bike, or any good review videos of it. From what I have seen online it has like 120 HP and a Hydraulic clutch. Does it have any like race or street settings like the new ones? Are there any things I should look for before I purchase the bike?

Thanks!



My 01 R6

The only thing you should look for in regards to that SuperDuke is a great time. You'll have to post a few pictures of the bike as you are from the show me state. Welcome in and on, your going to love that bike. Oh, make sure you check for loose rim tape.

Well i picked up last night, I love it. Anyone know why i cant lock the handlebars? The key wont turn to lock. Also, the rear brake is squeling badly, the original owner said it was locking up on him on his last ride. Just change the fluid?

Thanks!
