Can't stop looking at a 390 for 3099... Don't even have a licence and I'm a hair's breadth away from ordering one... :\

I bought a 690R two months before passing the test and a GT two months after passing the test. Having it was great motivation to pass.

I definitely haven't ordered a 390 duke Already planning the mods: Lithium battery, fork insert kit, new rear shock, hoping austin racing do a decat pipe similar to the old model. Should be a riot. I honestly can't think of a better bike for the money, they're giving them away. Feel for the poor bloke who stopped in on one and got his 2 weeks ago before the deal.

Like a sit up moto3 bike for the road, I reckon! Would be brilliant fun in the summer hacking it about on warm dry roads and super sticky tyres.

I tried the old one when the 690SMCR was in for a first service and loved it. Being there's no old school 400's these are the next best things.

I joked as I left that I hoped in 3 years i could sell it back to them for more than I paid for it! Realistically, compared to the competition, I reckon it wont lose much over 3 years..? Got to be worth 8k to 9k if kept tidy?

Hope not! I'd like to buy a nice summer used on in 3 years.

Enjoy.

Am i correct in assuming that the Superduke GT is a dressed up old model of the standard Superduke? I only ask this as it doesn't appear to have the updates of the Superduke MY17 ( TFT screen etc?)

TFT screen on the new 2018 models. Not quite a dressed up model , as it has semi active suspenders and a quick shifter and various other bits and pieces the 2016 went without before that got updated recently.

I believe they’re putting the fancy dash on for 2018 on the GT. 2017 models and 2016 have 23 litre fuel tanks.

its £16,299 the 18 model.

is the tank different on the 18? or do you mean gt is bigger than the R?

[PIGINAWIG]

I meant GT bigger than the R

Perfect! Just ordered some

Good call, just acquired a set.

That deal with HEL is on everything so a Bandit oil cooler kit is £179 down from £299, doing car stuff too, I just ordered a set of MX5 hoses for £60 instead of £100

I’ve just noticed these on Autotrader, thinking of buying one to replace my 600F, great little bike and at just over £3000 an absolute bargain.
