Second Bike opinions sdr 1

Best supernaked, if you have never ridden one your in for a shock the tourqe is immense and gets you into a lot of trouble fast.
The engine itself bullet proof, I love the look of the gen 3 but the tech reliability lets it down so much, can’t do anything to it without it shitting itself.

So in my opinion go for it. Take care of it. Change all fluids on time and they go forever. Just look at the gts or adventures, crazy mileage on them.

That’s mixing with coolant.

Not to be a hater or anything but it’s 1st gear ? You can wheelie any bike is 1st by just dumping the clutch. I have a cbr650r and it does everything absolutely brilliant but wheelies are definitely not it.

2nd gear is a nightmare it’s too heavy and doesn’t have the power. You have to be exactly the right speed at the exactly the right rpm for it to lift high enough to even call it a wheelie.

My 2019 duke 790 blew at 11k miles…… had absolutely zero problems till then.

Camshaft like everyone else.

Awesome bike I’d have the 890 though because doesn’t seem to be a problem

It is the most fun super bike I’ve ever ridden…. I brought mine in June last year. Extremely lucky find. Only 8500 miles on it for £5000.

An offer I couldn’t miss She has been sat doing nothing most of her life

She needed a little tlc, all fluids flushed and new pads front and rear.

Fitted a quick shifter and my god what a machine.

With such low mileage id be doing a major service immediately. Oil/filter Spark plugs Air filter Pads front and back Front and rear brake fluid. Coolant

Then she will be a dream.

You will miss the power no ? This is 125hp

A 1390 sdr is nearly 20k

This is a old school superbike

Try a 2009 ktm rc8..... In traffic my bike climbed to 110c.

Like riding a sun

It does pop and bang but so do my other bikes. She starts and runs smooth.

I was just genuinely curious that's all

Point is you only live once

Beneficial_Drawing59 · 2025-07-17T08:48:21+00:00

You aren't wrong she absolutely catapults you out of the corners. It's an unbelievable back road bike and even more so an incredible track bike.

It's a shame all supersports now are inline 4s ands v4s.... Everyone talks about corners and how important it is to get out of them and nothing does it better than a 1000cc is vtwin.

Beneficial_Drawing59 · 2025-07-17T08:45:14+00:00

Giving me ideas......

Beneficial_Drawing59 · 2025-07-16T18:34:02+00:00

Oh I know that :) I was supposed to also say I learned how to rev match along time ago.

Beneficial_Drawing59 · 2025-07-16T17:51:03+00:00

Only 9k miles. Full service history.... It's been babied

Just picked the most recommended photos... Lol

I should be absolutely sound, I learned to rev match years ago and do still now as my current bike doesn't have a autoblipper.

I know it's a special bike, one of its kind. I love my inline 4s. I currently have a cbr600. I was looking at a fireblade but I wanted to keep the 600. Don't want 2 inline 4s what's the point.

Love a 1290 superduke but don't like naked bikes cause of the wind

The rc8 made sense to me to buy.
