Are you suggesting that this is the bike to take the place of the Multistrada? (As usual , I'm behind the times.)

no dispute......the duke will be more like a TIN of bolts being rattled at 5 rpm!!

depends how tall it is...if its GS like that will be worth a look, if like the multi way off my radar!!

anyway...streetfighter is more interesting

It's ok guys I like the GS as well and have ridden 1100, 1150, and 1200 varients. I was seriously interested in the 1200 when I read the initial spec-'Lighter than a 999, and 100BHP' yeh, right-try 225 kg and 85bhp. My ST4S made it feel distinctly underpowered-comfy though.
