You can give the SuperDuke a go when you're down here in June.
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Nah.  I've ridden my share of high HP naked bikes.  I wanted to try the RC390 b/c our local race track here is the size of a 7-11 parking lot and it's badly in need of a re-pave.

How was the power on that 390?

I was looking hard at these before I bought my latest 675 (which I think I'm going to sell in favor of an 1190adv)

Im kind of thinking about that bike as well.  Or maybe a GS.

GS weighs a lot more I think. More money for sure.

KTM = more cooler ;D

There are a couple of '15s at the dealership here.  Regarding the GS, I do like the idea of shaft drive (TWSS) for this sort of bike.

For a high mileage touring bike?  Shaft drive would be great.

Not a fan of anything but chains on motorcycles, but get what you really want. Oh, and then start another thread, and keep that bmw shit outta the 'Orange' thread.  :D

The guy is a good friend and the bike is under it's break-in period.  I can't comment on power values just yet...

I'll get a GS and paint it orange just for that.   :D
