Super Duke GT. Presumably the new SM-T. All the deets are expected at EICMA.

701 supermoto in action. According to article on A&R, it is basically a 690 SMC-R w/ 67 hp, 320 lbs (dry), slipper clutch, race ABS.

How do you like your 2-stroke? Angry, or really angry?

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

Anyone that can ride a bike flat out at a 6ft bolder without fear and just climb right over the damn thing is a hero in my book.

Damn you.
Bringing up really good memories of how awesome mid-size 2-strokes are.

Lol not so much. Backing it in eludes me. I suspect that's something that starts happening as you go faster and faster.
Cool video. A slipper on a supermoto seems counter productive to backing it in though.

Slippers are actually quite common in supermoto. Brands like STI have different springs where you can tune the resistance to your liking. Often times you'll find yourself dropping 3+ gears with a single clutch pull, while at maximum braking, in a very short period of time. The slipper serves as a buffer to keep the rear grip consistent (whether sliding or not) during this period and allows you to be less than perfect with the clutch.

The 690 SMC and Enduros have slippies.
I *ahem* know one can back in one of those.

How? Just transfer all the weight forward under heavy braking and start the turn in at the same time?

ooooor... have had a technical issue that disabled your front brake.
Then, forget that fact and need to slow for a 90 degree turn, in a greasy intersection.
Then panic a touch, immediately followed by ham-fisted rear brake stomping that locks the rear wheel and starts a slide.
State loudly "Whoa Shit!"
Grab a lil bit of clutch while grabbing a bunch of throttle and pressing your weight into the high-side peg - and get that bike well sideways!

American Supercamp is basically two days of rear wheel sliding. Of course, it's on dirt, so not quite the same as asphalt track. But one thing I learned is that turning the bike under you slows it down considerably, making tight turns possible even without braking. Rear brake is used for mild trail braking and stabilizing the rear. Really, you just need the cajones to turn a speeding bike into a hairpin without using the front brake and let physics do its part. I personally don't have such cajones.
But yeah, I like Slide Panda's technique better. More of an emotional rollercoaster!
