theshootist Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 I've been out once on my Super Duke to make sure it still works. Planning on doing the NC500 in May provided we are allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not fancy, but a good hack and easy to ride. Mine was on 70,000 when I bought it, only to have the original owner message me online that he'd like it back as it had been round the clock twice 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
