I will have to check the ever increasing receipt folder, but I think I got it from a dude named "Trailjammer".

Looks...
I think the new one is one of the best looking bikes on the market today. Aside from the Grip n Rip factor, that's why I bought it. I have to admit (without shame) that style is important to me. ...

Agreed
I love the Triumph Street/Speed Triples, no doubt they represent good value also.
A used Speed Triple with aftermarket suspension is all you need for the track and usually found around $5-8K.

Speaking of price point...
I think the value of this bike is outrageous...
Super sport 70HP single, ABS, ride by wire, gear indicator, adjustable mapping...I don't think anything comes close for $9K.

'13 Duke 690
Getting slightly amped up about this bike. Anyone have one? Is it as righteous as the reviews?
I have a 500 EXC that is pretty tasty but I like the idea of a 70HP single for the street/track.

I have a Rekluse in my 13 500 EXC and I highly recommend it. I have the $600 unit. (EXP?)

I have been running Vibranators on my last three high use bikes and they really work.
Tuned mass dampers to combat "tonic Vibration reflex".
