Yeah I know what u mean about Dukes they do have that special something, taking the bits of mine today looking at it I still love it


I do not question the BM in terms of quality I think they make well made interesting enginereed bikes that will outlive most others.
But the 1200 just sounds like any other Jap 4 cylinder, whilst the Boxer cup bikes were a touch amusing to watch racing, at least they had someting different about them, when they were replaced the 1200's they sounded a bit flat.
Ultimately I just love the sound of a twin.
Hope you enjoy your new toy.
