gixer1000 to ktm superduke

hey folks im after some advice. currently riding a k3 gixer 1000(great bike),but feel its time for a change. considering a 07super duke in black( road test booked in the next 2 weeks). so a few questions. anyone got one? what are they like....robust? stunt tool, track weapon?....i really only use my bike for sunday blasts and the odd track day.oh and now and again i`ll have to take a pillion. (really liked the superduke R but does`nt come with a back seat! damn it!]. any advice would be welcome. cheers.

from what i can remember when the superduke came out it was a animal ! good stonking motor but the bike on the whole was a bit rough on the edges.So KTM refines it to what is now suppose to be a brill bike and there is nowt like it!All the road tests iv read about it (think there was a road test on the 07 in MCN 2 weeks ago ) and they and others have given it the thumbs up.
The engine is supose to have lot of torque so dont ride it like a in line 4 jap bike short shifting the gears is the thing !
I would check out a superduke forum to find out about engine information etc and read as many reviews on the bike as possible on the net.
With this info you have a idea of what to expect when you test ride it.
theres not a lot of them about which is good and to ride something different from the rest. Like my yammy TDM, both are unique bikes.
Go for it !!

could be worth looking at the new ducati due out

Hi Steady. Long time no speak. Think I saw u at Dorcan last Monday night.
What does the KTM look like? Have you not considered the k7??
