Default Re: Replacing the Daytona...

My bricklayer has a superduke that he replaced his ducati with.

His intentions were that it was going to keep him out of trouble as its a naked bike and he used to go everywhere flat out on his 998r.

The reality after I had a go on it is that its a hooligan!
It inspires you to open the throttle and hang on for dear life.
Its a great bike (I'm biased as I wont ride anything elsethan a KTM offroad now), fast, light and a hell of a giggle

3 perfect bikes......for 3 completely different purposes.....

a) Touring
b) Mental Hooning
c) Track playing

Bloody hard work choosing between them three I think no matter what you do, you will always wish you had done one of the other.....and will probably end up doing all three instead LOL
Speed/Street triple will do the lot
Plus you have the nakedness you yearn for, listen to the voices

That was exactly my thoughts after testing the 848.

I would be very surprised if you couldn't buy back the wreck & sell for a profit, so at the very least do that or keep as you see fit.

Sounds like go with your first thought of Superduke, it sounds like what you want.
