you will not regret selling the duke at all for the zx10.
I changed from a 10 to a 749s and was very dissapointed to say the least and now i'm in the process of trading it in against a new all black gixxer1000k5!
Once you have ridden a bike like this there is no going back.
I suppose it all depends on how you get your enjoyment from biking- i think for a lot of ducati owners the pleasure is in the ownership of a nice looking bike with a racing pedigree but i for one get my thrills by how a bike rides and the feeling a get when i'm giving it some stick.
I test rode the gixxer on friday and it gave me such a buzz that, i swear, it took me hours to come down off the high the engine is awesome-stupendously quick, but every bit as impressive was the handling.
You should definitely get that test ride and then be prepared to part with the cash. i'm getting a really crap trade in with the 749s but i dont care, i just want to get back on a bike that takes my breath away each time i ride it! that for me is the essence of biking and not meeting with several other owners of the same bikes and admiring how shiny they are!!
Keep 'er lit
