Frank,
I'll never get rid of my Duke, for the same reasons as the parts on it are worth more than bike cost!!!
Its so much fun and quite capable of keeping up with anything on the public roads, plus it'll ensure you keep your licence and if its as moded as mine it'll turn heads everywhere.
Ok mines a bit slow on some tracks like Donnington which is why i've bought a R1 track bike, but will this turn heads on the roads or be rewarding to ride on them at less than 100mph, naaa!, Air-Cooled Dukes rule, and the noise !!
Happy New Year to all
Andy
