leikam Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 New to me anyway. It's a 2008 KTM SuperDuke. Picked it up this weekend and went on a couple "getting acquainted" rides. Fantastic handling, power for days, great fit for a tall guy like me and best all, it fills my heart with blood. Link to comment

Shiny Side Up Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Looks fast - can I ride it? Link to comment
TyTass Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 That looks too dangerous! You might get hurt or something. Let me take it off your hands. I promise to keep it safe. Link to comment

leikam Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Thanks. I appreciate the concern. It's much more dangerous than my RT and that's part of what I like about it. Now excuse me while I go get into trouble. Link to comment
TyTass Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Yeah right, like you really need an excuse! Link to comment
Bill_Walker Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Suh-weet! I took an overly-supervised demo ride on one of those, and it was still a hoot. I was struck by the fact that you really can't see any of the bike when you're on it, compared to my RT where you have all this "stuff" in front of you. Link to comment
leikam Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 Yeah, that's one of the things I like about it -- the bike gets out of the way of riding. Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 That looks too dangerous! You might get hurt or something. Let me take it off your hands. I promise to keep it safe. I've seen Craig ride. He will take good care of it. Of course, your tires will only have wear in the center.... Link to comment
