Took a wee scoot on my Duke.

From Silves up Monchique and Foia, I stopped along the way to capture pics of the storks. The Portimao race circuit is visible from Foia.

I had a look and a sit on a Duke 1290 the other day on my way over to Sutton Bank for a ride out. It was slightly smaller than my Vstrom 650! I didn't ask for a test ride. Bound to end in tears.

I’ve got a 1290rr and a 1390 Evo, scooter boy.
But there again I’m only 69.

Doh!
For a little minute, I was hoping to see a Ducati…


Never mind, I’ll cope

How do you transport it out of interest? I've got a cb650f, too heavy for our towball weight of 200kg, but something like a 390 or z300 would be ideal.

I bought a 390 for my wife as she wasn’t liking the 690 at the time, the 390 got sold as she decided she preferred the 690.

Hubby’s toy…the red one. My daughters is the black one.

Not the Ducati hypermotard …it’s a real boys toy. See picture in the post above. Hubby does have a white KTM motocrosser though, aka a Husqvarna 350.

Dunno but I've done the steepest bends of the Hardknott pass one handed on a Honda Biff Chariot.



And played around a bit on the Buttertubs on my own personal race track

If you want soul you'd buy a Norton or a Triumph. Heathens, the lot of you

What this thread needs is more Dukes. Ducatis that is

 

[barryd]

Nah this thread needs more cool Honda Vision stunts.

Unlike that behemoth behind it.
But both cracking rides with their own niche.

I’ve never been inclined to buy a Ducati, my wife offered to buy me a V4S Streetfighter but I declined. I have rode my mates but it didn’t excite me, he bought it after my wife’s offer. I’ve also rode the Supersport which looks similar to yours.
