Thanks for the advice

After 2 1/2 years owning a Superduke (orange, naturally) I am trading it in for a VFR 1200. I am planning doing more touring, so a fairing, screen and fixed panniers will be useful. Over the last few years I have regularly visited this forum for advice and tips. I haven't posted much myself but have read many posts and picked up a load of really useful information here. So thanks to you all. It's like a family, Superduke owenership.

Out of all the bikes Ive owned over the years, the SD has been my favourite, and by far the coolest. But Im getting on a bit now and an looking for something more grown up.

Good luck to you all, you should appreciate what a great, mad, fun, cool, sporty (and orange) bike you own.

p.s. The SD has to be the best bike for cornering ever. I love the way it just tips in effortlesly. It's like it actual enjoys cornering itself!

Ok mate good luck,just as a matter of interest how old are you and why grow up

Good luck. My SD has taught me how to ride and corner properly, to the point where I just recently paid $900+ on one single fine in California...! From a fellow scouser missing home.

56. Looking for something less frantic. Or more boring, if you like!

But in all seriousness, enjoy the new motor. I had a blast on my 800 V-tec one, so the bigger motor should be a hoot.

A horse of a different colour, still a horse.
Enjoy the easy escapism of a true sport tourer. Many revolutions away from you in a state full of orangeness, I'll squeeze a glass and toast to your Rubber Soul.
Good Luck.
