hello from the netherlands

Hello and welcome

Not much riding for you this time of year !

Welcome Paul, throw up a picture of your SD.

Van harte welkom Paul!
Waar ergens in Nederland als ik vragen mag?

ofcourse it's black!

Welcome aboard!

Well if Black was the only colour available I can understand why you didn't get Orange

Ah nog dutch speaking vanuit de buurt.
Heb zelf geen Superduke maar tracht men RC8 toch up te graden dat hij handelbaar wordt.
Iemand van jullie die ervaring heeft met ECU Tune?

Ik zoek een electrisch schema van recente superdukes om deze te vgl met dat van mijn RC8.

dank bij voorbaat

grtz

Hi, just thought I'd introduce myself. I have a mostly stock (other than Yoshi pipes) 2008 SD which I bought in the UK in September, the bike has been off the road since then as I'm going through the process of registering it in Holland and getting Dutch plates and insurance. The most time consuming thing in the process has been getting the right hand traffic headlight which I eventually picked up from a scrap dealer on ebay. The bike's been inspected and all I need to do now is pay the import duty. Why go to all this hassle? Well with the exchange rate the way it is I can pick up the SD in the UK for 5500 GBPs, in Holland the same bike goes for a minimum of about €8000 (7000GBP) (2008 SDs from dealers here are more like €10,000). Previously I've owned a Speed Triple, Fireblade, Firestorm, SV650 and a VFR to name a few. Riding the Duke is just so much fun, even the stock exhaust sounds lurvely and the motor is just crazy. I have a whole list of bits to fiddle with (tail tidy, engine sliders) but first its got to be the exhaust. The Yoshi pipes will have to go which is a shame as they sound awesome and with the ECU map they give the bike a kick but they're very loud (even with baffles) and they have no ECC stamp on them, unfortunately the police are a bit keen here by the look of things. I think I'll sell them in favour of some Remus cans which are more on the road legal side (ECC stamp and removable baffle).

Anyhow, hello to you all!

Welkom!

Welkom! Goed he, een SD.
Leuk forum dit, met veel info.
Have fun!

Welcome in...

Hi There!

A friend of mine have a SD and when we switched bikes i felt in love with the SD.

If i bought a SD i will post a pic over here.

Comrade:Welcome on board. Funny avatar Fill in your location details so other folks can invite you out for a ride.

Thanks and thanks, I have found the pipes (sil-moto) i'm curious how they sound! cause I like the looks. Updated my location btw.

Hi Guys,

Just bought a SD last Saturday! It only haves 13000km on it. And looks really brand new!
I cant wait for the weather to clear up






What do you guys think?

It looks very clean for an 07 model! Nice!

Welcome to the nuthouse fella

Hey all!

Bought my Superduke 990 last summer and only just now joined this forum . I did lurk around allot before though

This one is mine!

I spy rim tape, you're going to fit in just fine

Welcome aboard, another cheesehead joins the ranks

Welcome.

Welcome!

Hi Guys,

Just bought a black '16 SDR, brand new will be shipped out of the factory in Austria today. hopefully pickup is 09/7. Dealer told me it's one of the last black 16 models, since the facelifted '17 is coming up.

Mods now:
- TomTom Rider 410 Great Rides
- Arrow Race-Tech titanium slip-on

Coming up:
- Arrow midpipe / K&N Filter / SAS kit / Akra map if I can find a dealer willing to load it (dealers here aren't used to compared to the USA)
- short license plate holder
- PP Ergo seat

Any mods I forgot but is a must have?

Have been riding a BMW S1000RR 2010 (205 HP) for the last 4.5 years but wanted something more easy to ride, only got fun on the bike wen I went to the track or Luxemburg/Germany with the twisties but I don't get there every weekend as it is a 1.200 km drive for the whole weekend.

I hope this bike brings back the fun in driving around in my own area

Welcome Tom,

I think you are going to have fun!

welcome mate. you should be able to find all the info you need here somewhere. enjoy your ride

Thanks Guys,

I've already read a lot here before buying the bike. Really looking forward to pick her up
