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:

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. |

IS that a chin fairing at the bottom, The piece that has 990 on it? Cool bike! |

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

The battery... is in the chin fairing??? Interesting way of lowering the center of gravity! |

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? |

Damn, I was hoping not to hear that Everyone and their mother have a stock seat. |

the super duke i test rode felt pretty good, but the light flywheel was odd, would take some getting used to i guess? |

"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. http://ktmtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=382819 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. |

Nice scoot! A friend of mine has one, the same colour I think, he loves it, he's had it a few years now. |

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. |
