Hi and welcome!

Not sure where the Dakar fits in your list ???

Otherwise good choice of bikes, with the last one the best.

Forum newbie here! Got my new 2008 990 Super Duke Saturday! Great machine! Decided on the SD instead of a Ducati 1100s - my first non Japanese bike since 1969 (had a Bultaco Pursang).

I live in the West Virginia mountains - twisty mountain roads galore. The Duke really pulls and handles wonderfully. Bike fits nice in my stable of other bikes - a 2009 Yamaha R1; 2008 Kawasaki C14; 2006 Yamaha FZ1.

The FZ1 (and I) took one for the team two weeks ago - deer clipped front wheel and down we went- Totaled - settlement was used wisely - down payment on the Duke - FZ1 will still be around, however - I'm rebuilding it - it is my wife's favorite bike (although she is starting to warm up to the C14) She refuses to even get on the R1 or the Duke...but at least she's a sport on the other two bikes.
