Anyone got a Duke 390?

My bikes off the road and at the current rate It will take me 12 months to finish. I'm starting to really miss riding now and was thinking of getting a little lightweight bike anyway (CBR 350RR) but that seems miles off.

I'm toying with the idea of getting the baby Duke instead of waiting for the Honda. My concerns are it's a little small 6 1" And they are reliable enough to last.

Why not get a MT07 or ER6N. Good bikes and not to expensive. KTM's seem to be a fair bit of trouble sometimes.

I've looked the Yamaha's and the 07 is tempting, but I keep going back to the MT09 and thats not really what I'm looking for. Plus I fancy the Vitpilen 701 and don't want to push my luck with Mrs Jigger.

It is tempting though.

Small fun bike thats reliable...DRZ SM with mods but I'm biased

I would be in the cells within the hour. Front tyres would probably last a while though.

Nice little bike. Although the engine on one is awful. Sounds like a diesel.

What's up with your original bike? I think you said but I've forgotten

Surely it's worth spending to have fixed? Or you waiting on insurance? No courtesy bike?

 

[jigger]

It needs a rebuild, so I took it off the road to go through it top to bottom.

The XSR900 is out soon, much nicer styling than the MT-09.

I really like the look of the XSR 900 - Looks awesome
