Also ride an Exup as a second bike, had it for years, and it takes a lot to match that engine, even now so you would be better off treating a Duke as a different kettle of fish. I understand that the 748 is a nice revvy engine, while the bigger bikes are more torquey (but still not as flexible as an exup). Handling and braking are obviously on a different planet, as is comfort. I would try before you buy, but remember that these bikes will not take the lack of maintenance that a jap bike will
