The best fooking SD ever put together!

OK. So it's Saturday night and I'm a bit drunk.

But this forum has got a bit boring recently, there's nothing going on that is inspiring or anything.

So.....

I want to find out who thinks they have the best Superduke ever. I challenge anyone who thinks they have the best SD to put forward their specs list and justify why their bike is the best put together Superduke. After over more than 6 years I''ve done just about every mod possible - based on forum knowledge, my own assessment, aesthetic judgement, track day analysis, everyday judgement, commuter evaluation etc. whatever.

I think my bike is better than yours. !!! No I really do......

I'm up for a competition.

We're talking about what your bike looks like, how it performs, what you've done to make it better, everything.

I don't know how to set up this voting thing on the forum. Craig - do can you set it up for me? I want a thread set up to put in your bike spec and your argument for why it should win the SD.net forum best bike but be decided in that vote/thingy thing that I see up here sometimes.

How do we do this?

Help me!

Good one Bic. Starting point would have to be colour. Obviously, the faster white bikes would be top of the list and the slower orange and black ones far behind...

Hmmmmm......thought only the 2008 was a "true" Super Duke R.

My bike is the best

Bic's bike is not the best as he has time left to drink and waste time on the net instead of riding / modding it...

Mine is best btw, took the crap bits off like boat anchor, sas, air restrictor box filter, rode it, clean it ride it...etc...

I think Ronin might have this one. His 06 is very nicely done. Now it has a orange frame and 08 SDR engine in it its the best of both worlds.

Definitely not my SDR.... I barely got that shit to just work lol

.......this could be interesting.....



no ......not the best bike.....................



but how long this thread can run for best looking bike........without one single picture

Oh... Best looking... I thought it was outright best.
My bike is too ridden to win a beauty pageant...
Maddogs is quite a looker

No, not best looking. I meant the best modded, spec.d and generally fettled bike to make it better than a standard SD.

This might make it look good though so looks matter as well.

Mine . Anyone can bolt expensive shit on. Takes a bit more to build a good bike. Custom parts, custom paint, etc. My old shitter still has a long way to go though as the motor is standard. .

The best bikes aren't on this site. There are german guys with rc8 front ends grafted on etc. So they win. There's some very special SD's out there.

I still think LOONEY'S looked the best after his EPIC build, ,,,,,,,,as for mine,,,,,it's not done yet never looking for the "highest hp" on track there is,,always believed keep the motor stock for longevity and work more towards handling and brakes,,lighter weight,,,any one with more hp can pass on the straights ,,,someone more crazy than you will eat you up in the corners,hp or not,,mine will never see the track, it's for the street,to enjoy ,on the street,I've got nothing to prove,,,,,so the "win" goes elsewhere,,,,

OK lads, I'm gonna give you all a reference point to how a GOOD LOOKING SD should look like and I'll explain, as I don't trust yer old brains to understand by themselves

1. Best looking SuperDuke, BY FAR - is the Anthrazit one. No question. It holds the respect of a black batmobil but without being kitsch.
Orange is a fruit and white is nice. for teeth.

2. Mine isn't modified at all, except for maybe a 40t supersprox which I hardly call a mod. So obviously it's not here for the win.

3. Personally, I adore the looks of this bike. Except for the mirrors, I think it's brilliant in stock form. I even like the OEM silencers' looks better than most others (well, the carbon mivv's that someone here had horizontally are a nice touch). I even prefer the looks of the stock airbox inside as it makes the thing so bulk and wrestler like. It's the UFC athlete of bikes...

4. Anthrazit is the best, did I mention?

Motoronins for sheer money thrown at it and the copious amounts of mods, lightweight wheel SDR engine, paint job, quickshifter etc etc.

The guy in Dubai who has the Gear 4 SD with Maxton shock, lovely track bike looks good.

Best rat bike goes to Stalker.

Come on Dan post up your last SD. Ace looking bike. Not everybody has seen it.

its a one horse race

And before Colonel Klinck starts to get any ideas, to qualify as "The best fooking SD ever put together"...... the bike has to retain its oil........

Still does it for me but given the amount of oil haemorrhaging from the front and rear base gaskets, might be more a contender for the rat bike award.

I nominate MenNomads' bike for the 05/06 show and shine category

Mine
I can and would only ride my bike in a way that could possibly bend it. I would hope that everyone on here has the feeling that there bike is the best. A bike grows on an owner. Its idiosycracys are shared experiances between the two parties. I overshot a turn, well actually that is a little misleading, I panicked pre-entry and the bike and I slid through one hundred fifty eight feet of San Joaquin goop. We share this hydroplaning moment together and no other bike could or will reawake the spirit of the twelve year old like my special toy. It was love at first site and I have lusted after no other. I added a little orange spider ring that was a Holloween trinket to the frame tube just above the oil level inspection tube.
Ride your bike and be pleased as punch that the word your is part of its speacialness

For me, it's hard not to pick mine.

Over the time since i bought it, it's been modded with discretion and with precision. Not carbon crap thrown at it, annodised tat thrown at it, but modded for performance and aesthetics. It's also been stripped in all the important bits (Brakes and suspension) so it goes and stops perfectly.

When i look at it i think "WOW, i did that" and it excites me...

I quite enjoy my ride and have only modded for performance gains.
Don't have a current picture though but here's one on it's first weekend out.

As Ronin seems to be too busy shagging sheep in the Peak District atm I'll post up the pics he put in the Show your SD thread

Wow - that panel is super cool, like the Fonz with a Katana.

Just lacks a Predator helmet.....

She is the Queen of my garage, at least until I get a New Harley.
She got new shoes today. Think I'll ArmourAll them up to give them that patent leather look

It's not special... or modded to the limit... but it's mine, and I think it's the best fooking SD ever..

FMF Apex... Quite like them the best out off all the cans for looks alone.
They are coming off to save weight and I'm going to run a single exhaust.
Hope to put them on my street bike.
