I'm curious as well. I almost bought a Buell, xb9 citycross, when I ended up with the SH. Still something about the Buells I like. I think it's partially the forward thinking engineering (no, not the motor) and fun factor.

The speed is a beautiful bike, in my lowly opinion. Love the headlights, sss, and short wheelbase. Supposed to be one of the greatest wheelie bikes around. But found it a bit buzzy. Still like my v-twins.

As for the Duke, no experience, but I'd love to try one. Also really wanna ride the new Ducati SuperMoto. The smallest looking 1100 I've ever seen. Looks like a 450 in terms of overall bike shape.

 

The point of my thread (and I will post my test ride impressions for all 3), is that I need a top triple clamp to play with for a bar conversion so I can go back to OEM when desired.

 

Hmmmm...the title had led me to believe it was about test rides ; )

 

I test rode a Superduke today. AMAZING! It feels like a dirtbike, excellent suspension, and very light. The only thing I didn't get to do was high speed like above 80mph. Not having any wind protection concerns me and would take away from the practicality of the bike.

Very fun though and I wouldn't mind making it my next bike if I sell the RC51. I'm still waiting for the Superhawk to have some competition. I guess a bike will never be made to match it...

 

depending on how cheaply you're trying to go, the spiegler kit sells a top triple set for bars that either replaces or sits atop the stock clamp (can't remember which) and works very well.
