Back for a 5th Superduke... this time 08SDR

by , on Flickr

Back again, another day, another Superduke

Picked up this SDR at the weekend after selling my 2016 690 Duke... I wanted a bit 'more' so came back in for an SDR.

Seems a little quiet here compared to the old years.... But thought i'd stick my head in anyway

Hi Weeksy

I've already been chatting with you on KTM UK (TrouserSnake) about your new bike, glad you decided to keep it as she's a lovely looking SDR.

This is your 5th superduke?

Thought you'd get there eventually.......................

Welcome back (again) weeksy!

Welcome back to the SuperDuke fold mate, enjoy

You on repeat??

Good to see you back mate, maybe you can kick the place in its pants. A bit of sparkle is lacking ATM.

Well I may not have a bike, but I do have a seat

Usually indicates that rear header not properly aligned when refitted after multiple ceramic gasket replacements.

Obviously the dealer has to remove the lot to get new piece fitted, so hopefully we'll be golden once it arrives.

Another thing I noticed is that the bobbins are restricted by the rear crash protection on swingarm. I don't recall that issue previously on SDs.

Youve saved the best SuperDuke for last! Best seat also

I wouldn't worry too much.

Std SDR seat = might as well sit on plank

PP SDR seat = See above.

PP one might look nicer but my arse couldn't tell the difference...
