it does look a beastie..... My 1098 Ducati Streetfighter was of similar ilk as the Superduke. I really didn't get on with it tho which was gutting (and expensive).... on paper I loved it, but in the flesh it was awful.



 
Looking at the specs and pictures KTM have solved all the issues that Ducati Streetfighter has.

1.Same on board computer as the 2013 1190 Adventure R with presets for most conditions

2.They've thought about comfort for all types of riders not just the average.

3.Combines ABS and great Brembo calipers

4.Long 15k Service intervals

5.Excellent fuel economy

This is all on paper so again it could end up following Ducati to a painful but quick ride.

Another old thread resurection...(it is nearly Easter after all).

Pretty much had a bike most of my life from my 17th birthday when I bought my first, a Yamaha RS100T (silver), no CBT back then so it got dropped many times, replaced it with a Honda CB125 which I was eventually knocked off it by some guy in a cortina(I still have a dent in my thigh to this day), left my job so bought a boneyard Suzuki GT250 that I rebuilt out of parts from my girlfriends dad's garage, always had to bump start it as the kickstart never worked properly, a few years later I passed my test on a Honda CB125 which I then gifted to a friend & bought a Honda CB900F the very next day, almost killed myself a couple of times on this but it was stolen a few years later. Family dynamics led to my ex & myself both needing transport for work & I got a CB1000F as my commuter(the blue one), soon realised the bike was a luxury so it was garaged for about 6 years, by the time I was able to ride regularly again it was a costly repair so the red CB1000F was it's replacement but not practical for work so a Honda 650 Deauville took on this role.

Ill health meant I had both CBR's & the Deauville off the rode for many years until I sold the last one around 6 months ago.

Never been a 'biker' but always loved bikes & would happily have a mancave filled with desirables if I had the space... Honda CBX, Kawasaki AR125, Suzuki Katana 100 to name but a few.

I've been a biker for almost 30 years but never really been a photographer! Here's my bike, I've had it for 15 years and still think she's the most gorgeous bike ever produced. She's a Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird. In the fastest colour, Titanium.

That's my youngest daughter on the back, just nipping a couple of mile down the road to a regular bike meet at The Raven, Whitchurch.

 
Can't believe I've not posted here, here's my Ducati multistrada 100ds on the day I picked it up, looks a little different now, pillion sissy bars gone, replaced with a decent top box for touring potential. 

I've also got a yam xt600e, in bits at the mo for some tlc & I decide if I'm gonna chop it about ? ?
