That is certainly a beautiful bike...and different to the point of good taste!
I have the '03 ss with the sculptured front lamp...Not my first choice of duke but I love the ride position and feel of it. It's fairly cheap and simple to work on so that's my option for staying with one.
I feel I need a 900 next.
I find the older SS's reminicsent of the 888 and I know that it's an iconic bike but it just doesn't do it for me...( yes I'm prepared to be shot down in flames!)
I'll be interested to see what the mk 5 will be like...it will probably be at this point I will need an upgrade!
