At the launch in California yesterday they have claimed the new Superduke is 180hp.!!!!
Wholly Crap batman
what launch?
how about some details there Sparky!
The launch for the press was yesterday in califonia for the 1190 superadventure, details of the new SD were released. it is coming to Canada.
When my buddy gets back tonight I will have more info, Im sure the other journalists will be Tweeting soon.
Yet more unbelievable fiction from California, anyone would think they elected a T100 Terminator to be their governor.
Not fiction.
This is the world launch for the super enduro and the information is from KTM.

My friend is a journalist on the ride
So when he texted me about the SD it was from KTM and they have a SD there as well.
Speaking as somebody who was actually riding a 200HP motorcycle yesterday I will be more interested in how much it weighs than the claimed HP.

Light, short geared and with massive mid range = Fun

Tuned for top HP at high revs = why not ride a Jap / BMW sports bike?

From reading the Bike article it sounds like they have gone the fun route.
Agree Shadowman.
Thats why a superduke is still a good bike to have.
I did see the FZ09 in person before its unvieling 2 weeks ago and I cant wait to try one.
More upright seating than a SD, 115hp and $8999.
Some of the uninformed there were commenting how Yamaha is new to triples, I couldnt bother interjecting and just chuckled.
what we need is a thread to put all the new Superduke bits in.... oh wait
