Sell the fleet?

First post. Howdy. I am new to KTM. I bought a 97 Duke 620 earlier this year as a commuter. Fun fun fun little bike. I was recently in for some service on it and made the horrible mistake of sitting on a Super Duke that was in the show room. I'm a tall lanky bastard, and it fit perfect! That never happens. So now I can't get the bike out of my mind.

I have had the luxury of never financing a bike before, but would have to finance a bit of this one. I also would have to sell some of my fleet to raise the money. I have a Ducati Multistrada, Triumph 675, and the Duke I. I would sell the MTS and the Duke I. But I'm afraid I'd be giving up too much. The MTS is a great touring and scratching bike. Higher maintenance - but I do my own valve and belt maintenance.

Early reviews of the superduke loved it but hated the mileage (or should I say range). I understand that has improved with the '07, true? I'm not looking for a touring machine, but how well can you load down the Duke and take off for a long weekend? My idea of touring is taking the most sinuous route to a destination, staying there as a base and playing on the roads in that area, then taking a different twisty route home, about a 1200 mile extra long weekend if all works out.

Hi, and welcome. The Superduke is going to do all these things and more, the tank on the new model holds another 3 litres so should be O.K. Once you have ridden one, you'll probably sell the 675 as well, you won't need it (no joke). Best thing to do is test ride one, and see what all the fuss is about.
P.S. Black ones are more fasterer.

SD all the way

Ive yet to come up against a bike in the 600 class that is a match for the SD, in any way shape or form. 1000s can pass on the straight, but thats it, trust me, you need to ride one.
