I've found that my Nine T is not a very good bike. It makes a lousy cross country country tourer. Trying to motocross is definitely not a good idea. It's not as fast as a super bike crotch rocket. Trying to ride at five miles per hour in city traffic is definitely not where it shines. Riding several hundred miles with a passenger is not a strong point. In essence, this bike sucks, except.....

except that it's phuqing perfect as a Nine T and I absolutely LOVE it! It does what I want incredibly well. It's the best bike (for me) that I've ever had and wouldn't trade it for anything. I LOVE it!

lots of discussion like this on the Superduke forum. people complaining the SD does not tour well, isn't great 2-up, does not have enough tie down points, does not have very good tall windscreen options, has handle bars that are too high, or too low.

certainly all valid complaints if you bought an SD wishing it was something else. however, if you bought a SD respecting what it was built for and understanding its intent, then you were thrilled by what a great bike it is.

I already hated you for living in Lockhart, best BBQ anywhere! Chisholm Trail being my favorite. This just seals it though!
