I'll bet that guy is asking more than you want to pay, cause Hawk GTs are cult bikes now with an enthusiast following. If you get it, please do not hurt it.

Have you ever snorted angel dust with your dickhole? Like the idea of punching a Great White Shark... while you're naked? Ever wanted to reach out to the other side and tell Paul Walker "Dude, I totally had you, and even your Mom doesn't miss you." Feel like doing something along those lines? Get on a Super Duke 990.

Man, that guy sounds like an insufferable tool. I dunno if I'd want a bike tainted by a previous owner like that.

What's the skinny on pre 1290 SD? Are they any good, or is the 1290 the be all end all? I take it they don't come with all the fancy safety tech that the current ones do (that make them so appealing to me).

I'd be rooting for ya, but have your next of kin send what's left of the bike my way.

Less torque than the 1290, less power, reviews make it seem like the 1290 protects from wind better. ABS, but none of the riding modes and definitely not the wheelie-control. I've got the SMT, has the same "issue" with having a touchy throttle at low RPMs.

None, any more. Maybe some race-only MX or trials bike.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

I'm a KTM SuperFan and there's no way I'd own a 950 SuperDuke, would buy a Tuono Factory instead. The 990, maybe. They're decent enough bikes, but they're early model KTMs and a little finicky.

"partial baffle delete" - translation, "I took a piece of rebar and slammed it around in the can for a few minutes, then turned it over and everything rattled out"?

I've ridden a 990 SuperDuke, and they are a ton of fun, but Z3n is right as usual. Given how hard this ad is trying I'd probably stay far, far away

I bet it's a different rear. There's probably a bike with similar hub spacing that allowed for the same calipers and a wider rear tire and it just happened to be a cast wheel.

Stock front, either a TDR125 rear wheel, or someone started doing a TZR wheel swap for better rubber options. You kids didn't even pick the best color of TDR - black and yellow like mine.

14,900, which I assume is next to nothing for a bike like that.

Why is the bike photoshopped onto a driveway? That seems odd.

Can you tell by the pixels? Have you seen any photoshops in your time?


I think the driveway is just powerwashed and kind of bleached out in that spot. It does look a little weirdly contrasted though.
