I have owned two Superdukes. The first was an 05 bike which I had from 2006-2008. I covered about 6000 miles in that time. Then in 2008 I bought a 2007 Superduke R which I still have. I have probably covered 6000 miles on that one too.
Neither was my only bike, I usually have 2-3 bikes on the go at once so I really only use the Superdukes for fun riding and sunny day blasts in the country. I have done plenty of trackdays on both bikes but never commuted on them. Consequently I have experience none of the problems Mel recounts. In truth I cant forsee selling my SDR ihave too much time and money tied up in it.
I have ridden Gen 2 fazer and v2 Tuono and wouldnt swap my Superduke for either. That isnt to say they arent both better everyday bikes but I consider the Superduke a better fun bike and I have my Gen 1 Fazer for everyday.
