If this Ducati Hyperfighter turns out to be real and not mythical that will go to the top of the list.
I`d love to ride a Brutale 1078RR to find out if it really has improved as much as is rumoured,otherwise see what the proposed update to the SD turns out like.
Don`t like the look of the Venom either,if what has been seen so far is definitive.
Have had enough of sportsbikes for various reasons so they wont figure on my shopping list.

Having ridden the RC8, I think the 1190 engine is too fast for a naked bike. I'd prefer that KTM continue to refine the 999FI engine in the current SD.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love an RC8, but only if I lived by Brands or the Nurburgring. ... I got into nakeds to slow down - well, ride quickly more smoothly, and at legal speeds - but the 1190 engine won't assist me there, and top speed would render the bikini fairing of the SD a joke - unless they make it with one less gear? LOL. ...The venom fairing solution is ugly too.

Give me the 125bhp engine from the SDR with less snatchy fuelling and I'll be happy.

The standard SD has an ugly rear end that now looks dated. KTM need to redesign the rear to look better with a dual seat with SDR lines.

Dutch, Speed and power are 2 different things, rare that I have ever heard a motorcyclist say he does not want more power.

150 rwhp would be an absolute hoot on this bike, I would hope for at least 90 ftlbs of torques,

joe would never have to go over 100 mph to use the brute. to hoot on the brute.

Having the 05 here in the States...I'll be keeping it for a good long while. Not many of them around and there's something to be said for having a unique sickle on the road. Not to mention of course that it is absolutely the best bike I've ever owned!

All that said, I am wanting to try some dual-sporting. I will be looking at a new KLR650 around the end of the year.... Price point is good. Good to-and-fro for work with the mpg it gets. I can get out to Death Valley or points north for some exploration. Sooner or later I'd like to get on a Katoom Adventure, but not going to commit until I know it's something I'm going to really put the time into.

For the road my 07 SDR is staying for the forseable future,as i can't see anything better out there to change with . Cash permitting i fancy replacing my XR 400 for a new KTM exc 450 or maybe a Honda crf 450 X for greenlaning other than that in a perfect world i'd also like an SMR 950 just to release the nutter in me further but then again that may not be a good thing i already attract the police like a f#cking magnet on or off road

A SDR as a replace for the Superduke and a replacement for the race bike (GSXR). Just not decided what to get yet. A RC8 would be a dream but short of winning the lotto it will remain a dream.

I have also been looking for a RG500 for a while but we see what budget is left.

I waited so much for my SD that I don't think changing it
in the next 3years at least. But I would like the SDR, or its evolution!
