Greetings from Santa Rosa, CA. I bought a Super Duke today. Yahoo!!! It was a totally spontaneous purchase. Perhaps because today is my birthday. I read the Cycle World article and was impressed, then I went to the local KTM dealer yesterday for a part for my 525 and saw the Super Duke on the showroom floor. It was much smaller than I thought and it felt so right. I thought it over last night and went in this morning and now it's mine. I got the Anthracite color. I also ordered the Akrapovic Titanium slip-on silencer, Carbon silencer heat shields, reverse shifting set-up, Touring wind screen, Tank pad, and a Tank bag. All from the Hard Equipement catalog. God, I hate that catalog. Wait a minute, I love that catalog. I'll post pictures tomorrow. Anyone in Northern California area to ride with? Thanks, Ken Gray
