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 that—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)

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

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.

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...
