Does anybody have any info about 2010 model SDs. Are any changes in the pipeline, styling, power etc. I am looking at an SD next year but would like a bit more mumbo from the motor. The SDR looks the goods but a bit concerned about the comfort factor.

I know the seat can be changed or modified, but what about the suspension. Can that be softened enough that I wont feel like a punching bag after a 500-600 klm ride.

The bike I ride now is set up reasonably hard (on its softest setting). Its great where it counts (in the twisties) but lacks plushness over the normal road ripples etc. Is this what the SDR is like.

Anyone had success toning down their SDR suspension ?

Thanx. Reb

Rumours on the net are that both the SD and SDR will have new models. The only thing that I read is that the SD gets the RC8 engine (1150cc, 140 HP) and the SDR the RC8R engine (1195cc, 155 HP). Don't have any infor about further changes on the bikes.

I'd welcome some more ponies down the straights, as long as the delivery is linear like the current motor and it's reliable.

It's like the sales guy said to me! "what you want more than what you've got?" and the real answer is NOPE, i've got more than i'll ever want and if you can push the sd to it's limits and say it aint quick enuff then i take my hat off to ya For me i'm well happy

I can push mine fairly hard. When you're trying to beat the Jap IL4's or 1198's any extra GO! is welcome.

If anything, they'll redesign it so it uses the RC8 exhaust, and clean up the rear end a bit. Much lighter (and cooler), too. But not much for 2010.
Speculation aside, they are going to improve their dirt bikes, and release a "low" version of the standard 990 Adventure. We may never see a new LC4 Adventure with the new Dakar rules. I am interested in seeing the 690 Duke R, however.

Yo Colonel, know what ur saying about the rc8r. I think it's an awesome bike but i'm not that bothered about riding one though:cry: . They are basically a track bike and on the road they are not at ease! My friend and i went to the local dealership and he took the bitch out and he did say it was quick but said he preferred his sd money isn't an issue but he said he liked the easiness of the sd. That said enuff for me! we both jumped on our bikes and had a blast all the way home with me grinning like a cheshire cat!!!
