As Oli Le Belge pointed out not so long ago, being discreet on the handlebars of a Superduke is impossible. This is also the primary mission of the Superduke, both in spirit and in design – Streetfighter to the end of the tires and with a layer of virility in addition for 2007.
OK, the identity is preserved and the 07 strongly resembles the 06. The evolution would also be difficult to be spectacular as the original stroke of the pencil puts you in the face. Approach the eye and pay attention: new front fender, subtly redesigned sides with a brighter orange, a more “trendy” rear light, larger mirrors … in short, trifles. But what changes the most is what is seen the least and which is nevertheless the most important.
First, 4 more liters in the tank; that way, we will be able to have fun much longer than with the original 15 L. Then, the ganache: subtly revised fork crown, nastier, sharper, equipped with a mini deflector (effectiveness close to the fit of laughter) and above all containing within it a real dashboard. Bye the bicycle computer with a Bonux tachometer – The new 990 SuperDuke inherits a multi-function instrumentation that is prettier, more readable, less “offbeat” and much more fun.
Below, we get into the Superbike-type braking fashion. The 48 mm diameter WP fork is fitted with radial callipers each equipped with 4 independent pads. Inside, 320 mm of braking track … To find better, it is the new monobloc calipers of the 1098 from Ducat ‘.
As we just saw, more fun for the street terror Katoche. An apparent casualness that hides a beginnings of wisdom, however. Like all the others, Miss SuperDuke had to comply with Euro 3 and becomes cleaner … and less radical with its slightly retouched geometry: more open caster angle and revised caster, more stability … The big Duke is would she calm ?
When you see the profile of the sport tires and its aspect of an impact debuncher, not for a single second can you imagine yourself discreet or calm on its handlebars. !
