The superduke is going to be a 1390! As emissions get harder to pass they can at least just jeep making them bigger!

Dammit, typo in the title and sorry, I can't get that link to work.

Think it's a PH quirk if the first thing in a post is a link, try this

If this is indeed what it’s going to look like it’s not a positive change to my eyes.

I saw this. They are speculating 190ish hp and a good bit more torque (not that it needs it)

I love it given all the emission crap and safety brigrade...to make a near 1.5lt super/hyper naked twin is brilliant

I dont like the brand and will stick with my Aprilia's but applaud them for this

That's probably just a 'make do' set up to keep the final design under wraps, like the disguises car manufacturers employ

I really like the Duke headlamp design that came out in 2017.

That photo is over a year old and a test mule, hopefully it won't have that headlight.

Sales across the board now on the current Gen3's, 3K off list at dealers and 4 year warranty. If I hadn't just bought a new car I'd probably trade my 2020 Gen3 in against a new one just for the warranty alone.

Given how much torque these things have I'm not sure they need a bigger motor if I am honest, it's not exactly lacking as it is. I'm going to suggest the Gen4 will probably have electronic suspension as standard and a price tag approaching 20K as that is what most of the big players seem to be charging now unfortunately.
