Been there, done that. Have the pictures and the traffic citations to prove it.



Problem is, it wasn't all that fun around here at less than ultra-legal speeds. Sent me back to riding dirt and now I'm kicking around the idea of an adventure-tourer....perhaps an orange one.

You would need a step ladder for the Adventure 990

You ever have problems with your Duke? My buddy had one. He said it was in the shop 3 times in 3000 miles. He sold it after it left him stranded the 2nd time. He said the bike was insanely fun when it ran right, but rarely ran right.

Only one issue with a recall for water pump shaft seal and then a warranty repair for a leaking head gasket. All in all, not a bad 8k on a first model year bike. I've not encountered anyone that has had any serious issues with one.

Hmm. His was nothing but problems, bought it brand new. But I know every model has its demons from time to time.

Super Duke R...yummy!!!

Yes, you need something adventurous and orange. Often imitated but never equaled.
