StupidDuke 1290R ride review....

http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/reviews/ktm-1290-super-duke-r-review/

It just gets worse.   [evil]  I bet the thing sells for over $20K here and they'll sell every last one of them.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Got a question for you Orange People ;D.
Buddy has a 2012 Duke 690, but lost his manual. What is that adjustable, numbered dial under the passenger seat for? ABS, power modes? His is set on 0.

The KTM manuals in PDF form are online from KTM - he can just download a copy.
Hell, I've got a copy on my phone.

Talking to Superplush suspension never ends well for my wallet. New shock collar, new springs and possible re-valve for my SMC>Enduro conversion project.

Money spent on suspension is never money misspent.

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.
