This SuperDuke has made up my mind, I will be buying one the minute they hit the US

Here are a few other color schemes

If I had that kind of money to burn, it'd probably go to the 950SM. But those are sweet too.

I think it's gonna be 12 or 13 grand! I guess thats alot for a bike but worth every penny, hell i paid 8500 for my TLS new in 97' so i am cool with the price !!

Super cool, I like the first color (white/black) best myself:thumbup

My thoughts exactly the white and black are the best color scheme so far!!

I don't like the tank. What's the specs? I could look it up but rather soemone just tell me.

I'm sure it's worth it, just don't have that kind of cash to spend on a bike at the moment.

But I'd opt to satisfy the hidden hooligan inside me with a similarly priced 950SM. Ideally both bikes would be parked in my garage that would make Leno's look like an amature garage, but we can all dream, right?

My mate has one (posted some vids of it at a trackday earlier in the year :confused ) and it ain't got the go of a TL (that 118 is very optimistic according to the dyno...) ....... mine would stomp all over under power :devious ,,, and they feel a bit odd to sit on too - very tall and narrow, quite trail-bikey even :dowhat

The other thing is the styling is a love it or hate it thing (I veer to the latter) but that white black version certainly does have some appeal :devious

:bitchslap It's an SM, what's it supposed to feel like?

:bash :fooku The super duke is a ROAD bike, the SM is the SM :dowhat :coocoo :laugh :laugh (though, to be fair, the duke, the SM and the enduro thing all seem to share basically similar chassis, relying on the suspenders and tyres to signify their intended purposes :confused :laugh )

Seat height is 33.7 at the lowest setting Looks like i'll be looking for a cut down seat, or that can be my first mod!
