What you need is a Vitpilen 701 !!
Not as much power as 790 but having owned both Duke 790 and Svartpilen 701, I can say the latter is an utter hoot.
So so light yet goes like utter stink with 74bhp ! The Duke was great but if you were to keep the 1190, you could do worse than get a Vit ( I know you prefer it to the Svart).
You're really not helping
It would have to be a replacement for the 1190 as I've done the 'loads of bikes' before and finally got down to fewer bikes so have to be strong; it's now 'one in/one out'........... As much as I like the Vitpilen (and I really do) it's not (for me) a replacement for the 1190. It's, as you say, an 'as well as' bike. The 890R, however, I see as a practical replacement for the 1190. I like the idea of it's small size, weight, top notch suspension and a reasonably powerful twin....... Mind you, It's going to be significantly more expensive than the 790 (especially with deals) so who knows.......the arguments in my head continue!
