SuperDuke, the original.
Me and a bunch of buddies are going to the mountains this weekend for several days. I'm tempted to bring it but need to get to know its character a bit more.

I didn't think I'd ever ride a bike I liked better than my Speed Triple but DAMN! This thing is so entertaining. I'm not sure how you could ever crash the thing. It rides like it's on autopilot. The fueling, suspension, brakes and transmission are a dream. bow down

What mods have been done to it?  Does it still have the stock ecu map with the O2 and SAS enabled?

I've done nothing with it except put new tires on it. It has a power commander on it and beautiful Yoshi carbon fiber pipes. I also removed the stupid mirrors and bar risers.
