New to a KTM

Thought id better say gidday to all you Superduke fans. Havin had dozens of Japers, 3 ducati's and 2 Aprilia's over 30 years of riding bikes, I was looking for something a tad different from sportsbikes to replace my 05 Aprilia RSVR. After months of surfin the net for reviews, this forum, etc, the 07 KTM was looking bloody good. My local KTM dealer only had the R model in stock but it just isnt me with a brick for a seat and a single seat, been there, done that and never again. So i ordered an 07 Orange Duke with Akra Evolution pipes and a few other bits. The Duke is down on HP from the Aprilia's but im sure it will more than make up for it in the BUZZ factor on my home East Coast twisty roads, so roll on next week, party time with a Superduke.

Hi and welcome,you will enjoy the SD much more

The South Island was amazing ! We're coming back in 2009 to do it again !
We booked through Ian Fitzwater of GoTourNZ in Nelson and it was basically a night at different places all over the South Island. Next time we'll just hire a bike and stay longer in some of the places we really liked (difficult to choose tho!).
My missus just doesn't like the Tiger which is why we do all our touring (over here) on my Blackbird so there's no point in keeping it (Tiger) and the SD looks like the dogs dangly bits !
Test ride was cancelled on Sunday cos of the weather but got another one booked for Friday, so fingers crossed !

My touring baby !!


Just be Ullapool in NW Scotland

THAT's a paintjob and a half! Would be intruiged to see it in the flesh!
