#12I have to disagree with some of you a little. I have been riding a Ducati 998 for the last 5 years and my SD for the last 4 months. I have to say the Testeretta engine is siky smooth in comparison. If I had to mention a couple of negatives about the Superduke no 1 would be it's too buzzy and no 2 would be more power please! Don't get me wrong I love the bike but there are definitely smoother high capacity V-Twins out there.
We also have to remember the purpose of the bike. It is the ultimate Street bike for what it is designed. High speed long distance bike it is not. Although I am leaving on a 7500km trip in about 24 hours on it

#13I agree with "topendz". I think it's a matter of the flywheel weight. About ten years back I had a Honda SuperHawk (VTR 1000 for you fellas on the east side of the pond) It was much smoother than my SuperDuke and I think the dfference is due to the flywheel weight. My SuperDuke revs. much quicker than I remember the Honda revving.
1.) The heavier flywheels on the Honda smoothing the engine
2.) The Honda being 25 pound heavier than the SuperDuke
3.) A combination of the above two
Something helped quell the vibration. I'm not sure which one is the answer.
Thats my 2cents worth any way

#19Go ride an LC4 Duke II or SM or Adventure 640 for 20 minutes.
This will change your perspective on vibration.
