I can't own  a 990 superduke ,that thing is mental.

The 950 that I have ,I will be selling soon,great bike,just not really adjustable for me.

A friend of mine is looking at a 950SM. Or DRKWNG's 990SD. You been on them and the 1290SD. How about a comparo of the three?

I have not had an opportunity to ride the 1290.

To compare the SD to the Sm,the  As   is much more manic. The sm is a bit more composed.

Stupidity abounds with both of them, but the sd is much better at stupid.

One other thing that most nutjobs or psychopaths may not think of is the sd is all day comfortable where the sm is good for about 4 hours.

Long story short, Lars was at a loss for words after his first go on the SD.

I ended up with a 1290 SuperDuke R.

If you ended up with an SDR you talk about it,let your feelings show/quote]

You ended up with a 1290 SDR but you haven't ridden it yet?

There's lots of those starting to pop up.  One guy I know just grabbed a 1199S with only 3,000 miles on it and he's over the moon.  I guess if you are splitting hairs the 1299 and 959 are better but you couldn't convince this guy now.

So how do you like the 1290?

I'm assuming you have time one the 990. Is there any chance it is just as stuupid or did they dumb it down with the electronics?

This whole thread hijack should be shifted over to the Power of Orange thread.   Grin

The stock set up on the 1290 is fairly tame and a kitted up 990SD is more entertaining to ride, if hooliganism is your cup of tea.  Now a kitted up 1290 should be a whole different story and I'll get back later with that on P/O.   Dolph

So after many test rides, I was even more confused in selecting a bike.  I knew that I did not want to commit to a new bike since I might find out that sport bIkes are a pain in the ass. So I found the bike that I had drooled over when I first saw one new sitting in the Ducati dealership!

I found this sweet babe for sale on Craigslist by the original owner with low miles. Minus the NCR open clutch cover, it is completely original and was kept in like new condition!   Evil
