Who's been Superduked since when?

When I was a teenager I always wanted a TDR250 but couldn't afford it so when the Superduke came out in 2005 it was the new nutters bike I really wanted. In July 2008 I couldn't resist any longer so I bought a brand new black Superduke.

Handling is awsome although i'm starting to think I need a steering damper!!!

I test rode one back in 2005 when they first came out, and loved it but quit bikes for a bit untill this year when I bought mine in Jan. I love it the only bike i would consider swapping it for is an R version.

August 2010, wanted one for ages but been put off by lack of dealers near by and press reports about fueling, however route 55 opened near me and had a test ride in June sold my cb1000r within 6 mths and got mine

Aug 05, was waiting for the 950 SM to come in, took the SD for a test ride and the rest is history !
Got 2nd SD last year with hardly any miles on it.

I had an RSV Factory until I got banned in 2004. Insurance doubled (800quid ) So that had to go.

Bought a fireblade in 2006 and ended up nutting a car in a single track lane. Whilst I was rebuilding the blade a mate sold me his 05 Superduke to run around on. Except for German and French trips I never really rode the blade anymore.

Loved the 05 bike but it'd had a rough life before I got it and I chucked 9000 miles at it in quick succession.

Got offered a 07 SDR from a guy on here and sold the 05 to a german, profiteering on the weak pound. Still miss it and wish I had kept it as a track bike.

saw a friend that had one, didnt really think much about it. It was too expensive, and insurance also way to expensive.

Tried CB-1000RA, FZ-1, Z1000 and found them boring.
Then my friend tried to sell his Superduke for 165.000 DKK but I couldn't afford the insurrance..
Then I gave up on finding a naked bike I liked and could afford
My friend had sold his bike etc. and I gave up.


a year later the bike was up for sale again, this time for 125.000 DKK and I found a decent insurrance that I could pay. Was out looking at it about a year ago, and without test-driving it, I made the most expensive impulse-buy I've ever done, and bought the bike.

I've had it for a year now.

I got my first one in Feb 07, then found out it had been previously bought and returned to the dealers by a couple of members on here, as it had crash damage. I too phoned up the dealers and returned the bike for a full refund.

I then saved up a bit more and bought a brand new 06 at a reduced price in April 07.

Got my 06 model in May 09 rode it for 10 mins owned it another 10 mins later.

saw my mates 06 model and fell in love... then i saw an 08 and know it was to be... thought i liked the hypermotard more (riding wise, coming from motards), I have both and the SD is the one I yearn to ride... so much more fun

Got mine in May this year.
I always like them, but never thought I would own one. The reputation put me off as I thought it would be too aggressive.
When I was looking for my first "grown-up" bike (graduating from a big single cylinder bike), I thought I was going to like the 990SM, and I did, until I test road the SD "for laughs" ... I hadn't even taken my helmet off before the sales guy knew I wanted one

bought mine last September...we just passed our 1 year anniversary

Got my first in May 2008 and lasted until June 2009, when we parted company and I broke both arms ( left ulna and radius, and now has 2 plates and 12 screws to hold them together, and also right humerus, which now has a rod and 2 pins holding that together). Bike was financially written off but someone else now owns it and has done a paint job on it and is fully road legal again. Then luckily got my latest steed in March this year, (2009 on a 2010 plate) and so far I have slowed it down a tad but not by too much
