I love the whole feel of the bike and knowing you're part of something very special with a whole lot of heritage.

To me Dukes are more of a "real" bike as in they have a proper character rather than just being a Superbike Magazine statistic of 0-60's and top speeds that most of us mortals would never use anyway.

The only thing that bothers me and has ever bothered me is the maintenance costs, I know its a you have to cross that bridge when you come to it, but hearing of a £1200 service is one hell of a lot of money, its like buying a cheap run around.

I can't even comprehend how it could possibly cost that much, thats more like something you'd claim on the insurance for if you ditched your bike.
