If there was no superduke what would you be riding?

OK, if KTM had not bought out the superduke what steed do you think you would be riding?

Think I would be riding a new model Tuono......

An Mt01.

Either I'd still have my Fireblade or I'd be on a newer Jap IL4, most likely the Kawasaki ZRX1200.

Probably a Speed Triple, or perhaps something lighter.

When I bought the SD there was no Ducati dealer, no 1125R, so I'd prolly still be on the 625SMC. Or maybe (GASP!) a Hardly Ableson V-Turd (the Screaming Beagle edition).

Probably a Hypermotard, possilby a Tuono.

Lately I've had the itch to pick up a dual sport bike - lots of gravel roads in the TX Hill Country to explore w/ minimal traffic or cops.

Hypermotard , Tuono or.... Tried this one some days ago... WOW !!! Benelli Cafe-Racer

If there was no SD, I'd be destroying a Supermoto 950 or possibly a Hyperretard. If there were no KTMs, I'd be on a Hyper or a Multistrada S. The Mega Moto is cool, but stupidly expensive.

Bought the SD in addition to my K4 GSXR so I probably wouldn't have bought anything as the SD was the only bike I'd ever considered buying while I owned the gixer as I always liked the SD since they came out so never really thought about anything else, the gixer now makes way for the RC8.

Hypothetically though I always wanted to have a naked bike and a sports bike so I guess with no SD around I might have gone for a speed triple.

Probably still have my old TL.

It 'was' an S, I say was, the engine, tank, fairing and switchgear were the only standard TL parts on it.

damn F that is a great bike. more pics please

I had an "R" but not quite as modified as yours. I'll post some pics later.

DrF ,,, It is a beauty to me. Really a shame suzuki does not offer this bike, I have been on thare web site today and it is nota, nota thare at all,

I have not kept up with the TL, had a hard-on for one way back when they first were out but after riding one,

I heard alot of negative press on rear rotary shock and fueling problems,

i want a 300 lb 160rwhp sportbike today!

Yeah, it's one of those bikes you remember. You may have seen it one of the mags though, Streetfighters and Performance Bikes both featured it in 2005. I sold it to my mate in November that year, but it's been around for the last 5 years.

If there were no dukes ,I would ride as stated befor a supermoto or a custom built bike yz 450 front forks ,new harley evo engine ,six speed trans,turbocharged, lowered, monoshock rear suspention ,flat black on red powder coat frame ,custom wheels ,race tyres,renthal bars .It would have been cheaper than my superduke to build... lol...

Why thankyou

Most likely I'd have bought another Suzuki SV1000. Had an `03 naked model until the end of 2006 when it was destroyed in a crash, and dammit, I really miss that bike! One of the best Vtwins out there......

Benelli Café Racer

If there weren't SD I'd still be happy with my ZX6R
If I somehow had found the secrets of V2 I'd probably drool on Ducati Monster or if I had managed to still like supersports it would definietly be Ducati 848 or 1098.
Line 4 just feels so sterile and soul less now And the brembos.. and the white 848 just looks so perfect, definietly most beautiful bike in the world.
I should go to sleep now, it's 4:30am
