On my good friday ride out I was with two friends on 600's an SRAD and a CBR, I left them both for dead on a straight bit. I know anyone can do straights and all that but it does go to show that dukes aren't as slow as all those il4 guys seem to think.
Don't follow the herd deej, that little duke will teach you so much more about riding than any mass produced ujm ever could!

You have a point there.
I know that I have the 853 engine now so I suppose that I am cheating a bit but I always get the riders of the jap bikes looking surprised when you stay with them or blow them away. They seem to think that their jap rockets are the only bikes on the road that are gonna whoop some ass.
I know that before the duke I only had jap bikes and have nothing against them, they are great machines. If I had a bottomless pit of cash I would have more of them. But............... I think that it is the case of people reading to much bull in the bike mags and once you have a decent Ducati. You realise that having 100 odd horses and a decent chassis goes a long long way. Now, wheres that sps engine!!!!
DC.
