Rule 1: never sell a Duke.
Rule 2: see rule above.
lol I still miss my monster s.p aswell.
Re: Show and Tell: What bike do you ride??
I always get a twinge of regret when I sell a bike but that Duke was special, completely rebuilt from the ground up at a cost of $18000 in 1992. it was gorgeous and great to ride...:bawl: Had an Imola tank 40mm pumper carby's, Imola cam, the deepest silver paintwork, Italian leather on the seat, genuine conti's and Borrani rims...cost a fortune to buy back these days.

I had a WR400 turned into a SuperMoto for me by SA Dirtbikes, just sold it though. Compared to the KTM version it's a bit harder (suspension, vibes, power delivery) but the KTM is a purpose built job by the factory so they deliberately went for the softer version than say a 525 EXC with Supermoto bits. The KTM is an excellent bike though, perfect for dicking about in the city, honestly they're the most fun you can have without fear of losing your license for speeding. You may lose it for doing monos and stoppies however.
Suzuki make a version from their DRZ400 which is pretty cool and of course there's the Husqvarna 570 SM which is going back more toward a competition off-roader with the SuperMoto bits banged on (excellent bike though, about 70BHP), most European manufacturers of dirtbikes do a SuperMoto version (Husaberg, CCM, etc) and Aprilia is even bringing out their V-twin version.
you can always do what I didn and make one yourself, about $2000 for wheels and $1500 for the front brake and caliper on any bike you like.
