Have owned three Superdukes and even a KTM 890R. On a Hypermotard SP now. Riding a slow bike faster is more fun than a really fast bike slowish---i'ts proving true.
@@xodas.Agree. “Wife’s” bike is Ducati Multistrada Pikes Peak. Faster for sure but a bit big. I’ll be watching for the Superduke GT 1390. I have determined I am a try-er of bikes.
Great video, looks like an awesome area to ride. It was a toss up for me as I said before . Ultimately I went with the Ducati SFV4s in grey over the SDRevo 1390. Both insanely good bikes. Engine platforms on both are epic. What won me over was Ducati reliability (since Audi took over) over KTM which are unfortunately plagued by issues (all minor, many warning lights etc) which at that price point is not acceptable. Also, build quality and finish on ducatis is IMO more premium. Some of it was the clout factor too, even people who aren’t into motorbikes stare at the Streetfighter (and are forced to hear her. Loud Bitčh😂) Never ridden a hyper but sat on one and was blown away how light it was.
I was expecting some stretches of technical twisties in addition to the mostly straight pavement. I have a 950 SP and I ride mostly on technical roads in the mountains of redwood forests south of San Francisco.
@@xodas. Now more pikes peak comparisons for me. Just got mine back yesterday with a fresh set of rosso IV corsa in 200/60 rear and tpms sensors now. Too bad they couldn't figure out what's wrong with my electronic suspension light/code, at least it's stuck in permanent hardest, and the preload adjustment still works; they think something is wrong with the fork electronically.
@@xodas. Ok, after slaying some canyon roads with the current setup on 200/60 rear IV corsa and front lowered by 7-8mm (some people do 10, but I figured I'd go a hair less since I was also doing a taller rear) and steering stabilizer I don't know why they don't do this stock. So much better in every possible way (grip,braking, trail braking, front end feel, stability, agility, ability to get on power without squatting and shaking) other than the initial tip in which takes a bit more effort with a 200 compared to 190, can offset that with some lighter wheels of course. The only downside is I was forgetting about the amount of ground clearance and grinding my toe sliders, especially on the right side where that dual pipe akra pushes my foot forward unless I have it super vertical or have the back of it hang out to the outside. Also, the suspension fault went away and all works as it should now 🤷♂️

Yeah - having both a fast one and a slow one is even better!

Excellent conclusion(s) 😎🍻
Yeah quite clear cut

Hi Mark - the Streetfighter was awesome- just too much for these roads!!!
I was expecting some stretches of technical twisties in addition to the mostly straight pavement. I have a 950 SP and I ride mostly on technical roads in the mountains of redwood forests south of San Francisco.
@@Ramon51650 gotta take what I can get…
Yessir! Another W for the KTM. Nice. I must say I agree. Haha.
Was a fun weekend!
Where are you riding? I can tell it's on Sydney, just not sure where. Look like some glorious roads.
West head - up near Terrey Hills
Everything vs everything part 3
Haha you are on to me!
