ok,ok....stop shouting!.....when I put the price I paid I had no idea that it wasnt the going rate for this time of year and didnt mean to pee anyone off...I take your points but I think even the dealers realise that the dukes are overpriced compared to the jap bikes, not only that, but they are usually a tad unreliable & cost double to service = no sale?as I replied to 749er...thousands of apologies & wished I'd kept my trap shut!
