My buddy bought a drz400 sm over the weekend also.

Also motorcycle goals.

The smile on my face after I got off.

And I’m a new rider and didn’t die. God what a machine.

Try a Tuono 1100 ;)

Everything I liked about the Duke but turned up a notch! But both fantastic machines, golden era of bikes is happening right now.

I agree. I watched a head to head on it and was surprised the tuono beat it, but the duke is supposed to be a better street bike.

I can see that, the torque is fantastic. I was actually a little let down by the lack of savagery. That V4 (mouth waters) though.

In terms of just as a street bike, I’d actually have the Duke 690 or husky 701 over either, lightness is king!

I have an fz 07 and the duke 690 is crap compared to my bike and more expensive I hated the duke 690.

I like big singles... A lot. I’ve ridden both and liked the Duke a good deal more.

I wasn’t feeling it and not because I own the fz. The suspension was awesome tho.

But yeah price is too high, was it really good? (to me) Yeah. But was it $5k better than my modified sv650? Fuck no.

And that’s why I still have an sv650. ;)
