just sold the superduke as I wanted to go back to a sports bike
... believe it or not but the duke was 9yrs old and 4.5k on the clocks
I like the v twins but it was too much wind blast at speed ,
from memory the blue r1 was a 99 , with 3" off the screen top , bar raisers and straight bars due to the previous owner having a bad back .

i said i'd never own another KTM after the crap i've had with the Duke II i have !
Wind blast ha ha ha you get used to it
make sure you download the manuals & micro fiche for your R1 , lots of interesting stuff on here & if your going to do a winter project on your bike is there any chance you gould start a thread in the projects section with plenty of pics please ?
