Hi Scotty, similar points as already stated, more cost but miles more smiles. I always had warp speed Jap bikes and would/will again I'm sure but the Duke is the standout special and the noise is everything but the latest go as well. I have had a Duke since 2003 and changed one battery, one rear brake caliper and one front sprocket, lots of maintenance spray and oil lube and over 23,000 miles a few trackdays and European road trips!
Welcome
