Well I totaled my bike the other week at the track... I said goodbye to her yesterday, it was actually sad... Monday I pick up a brand new leftover 08 KTM SuperDuke 990. I'll post some pics of her. Already have the mods picked out. The mechanic at the shop is going to get me a price from on of his race buddies on a used full Akrapovic exhaust, and a PCIII. Nice : )

Just before her death:





The New Beast

We'll meet up man. And I'll let your ride her. 600 mile break-in, then I'll call ya. O and thanks for the stock pipe offer! The INS co included the Drummer into the value of the bike, so it's staying on.

Yes, but also serves as the oil cooler, and the battery is in there.

The Duke is really light up top compared to the Buell...

Froggy, the Sport seat got toasted. I still have the stock one if interested?

"Here she is! I just love it......."

Ummm... not to hassle ya, but isn't "she" called a "Duke"?

Mebbe- Patty Duke?

Duke/Dyke?

I've been there- gots an old Beemer with a Crusty the Clown sticker on the headlight, hence the name of that bike...

Just funnin- holla if you ever bring that beast to E-TN!

There is a guy over at KTMTALK.com that is campaigning a Super Duke in the AFM.

You might need to sign up to actually view the link though.

Good choice on the Super Duke. I have a Super Enduro and love it.

Absolutely beautiful. What the hell do these bike makers think when the make these beautiful machines and then throw those God awful ugly plate holders on there. I don't get it...

They do that just to get past legal regulations, they know it will be removed by many so they design them as an afterthought so to speak.

Same reason as lightnings have cheese graters.

Nice bike.

I'd look at a 990 when the Uly needs replacing.

Looks great, congratulations! Those are high on my list if I ever get a non Buell type bike again.

Thanks everybody! This is my #2 dream bike. The 1st is a Ducati StreetFighter. But at 18k, it's out of my price range.

100% agree with the rear tail. I've got a tidy tail coming in the mail tomorrow.

Pictures don't do it justice either, too many lines and angles.
