Do this job long enough and not much
will surprise you—big steps forward like
the Panigale V4 mark certain points in your ca

reer—and I believe I've just crossed another with
this new Super Duke. Its level of performance is
straight comedy. It holds almost no advan-

I can think of. But it's so mean and so
damn angry with performance only Pedro

want one. I've had two Super Dukes in the past. It
might be time for a third.
