Hello !

A new member, and a future new SD rider...
Currently I own a BMW R1200GS that came in my garage in addition to a '99 YZF R1 in november 2008.
I thought at this time I could drive... uh... quietly?
But I need some adrenaline when I ride my bike, and the RGS can't provide me this subtance.
I planed some month ago to buy a japonese bike, because 4-cylinder engine sounds to be my favourite one. But an evil friend lent me his superduke during a big day trip in a heavenly area (more curves than straight lines)...
Whaoouh !
I renew with the sensation I had before, riding my YZF R1 !
It was so natural, so precise, so light, so GREAT !

I have the opportunity to exchange my R1200GS with a '08 superduke.

Any other important information?
I'm 29, live near Lyon in the center of France, and work in the industry.
I discorvered this forum by this picture :


and then found many information for this bike here...
So here I am with you... impatient to get finally my SD, only 3 days to wait before it but it seems very far for me!

Hi Max and welcome to the site.

Thanks for your messages

I got my SD tuesday, as scheduled... after a 4 hours windy car trip under the rain
Whatever, she is in her box now, ready to share maximum pleasure with me

So, first of all... bye bye to my "little german panzer" :


And second, my SD, on the way back home :


Then today for a small ride when rain stopped :




As soon as the sun will be back, if he is back once, I'll put better pics in the right topic.

PS : I forgot an important point in my introduction : all my appologize for my english. It may not be very good. Hope I'm clear, or at least understandable.
