1290 Super Duke test ride

[Nutty]

The R&G tail tidy is not too bad price wise and is being fitted when I pick the bike up. The SE comes with the Akra silencer. It would seem you cant just buy the Akra headers and mid section on their own. I'll be buggered if I going to pay near on a couple of grand for a pipe though. All joking aside I'm quite happy not making a load of noise nowadays anyway. It's wearing on a journey and just pisses people off. I'm getting old obviously.

The sound of the full system is fantastic. Have a look at Royal Jordanians channel on YouTube, as he has one.

I've seen every Youtube vid of the Super Duke ever made a number of times

Agreed it does sound good but it doesn't sound like 2 farsand quids worth of good. I'll put some football cards in my spokes with a lolly stick and elastic band. That'll do it...23 pence...sorted!

You can most likely get a KTM one for £300.

I'll see if they do a racing orange one for you when I'm there if you like.

No need ... my GSA already has an Akrapovic

 

[DING-DONG]

I met a fella yesterday to exchange pound notes for an akro end can to fit my GT when it arrives, he has done 7k in six months on his SDR riding it everyday thro winter and the bike still looked mint, No corrosion, No paint peeling off, No issues, Nada .

That's done it

You've got me all excited and bouncy and jittery and stammery again. No sleep 'till Saturday, I'm gonna be completely fucked by then

I'll most likely pick it up in the van anyway and then spend the afternoon in the garage with it making vroom noises and gazing at it lovingly.

I've been stroking it as soon as I decided I was going to buy one. It's quite sore.

Boots will do something for that, I'm sure.
