heavily tuned 600cc (ie. ones capable of winning Bemsee / MRO series) would put out about 115bhp / 120bhp at the wheel ... but you forgot to ask about power band and torque mate!!!
Ducati have much more power down the curve and you cannot compare riding an in-line 4 with a twin. I have been thinking that too and tried an R1 and that told me that this wasn't for me. I love Dukes and in the end you want to ride something that you love and enjoy it!
Also it would be weird for you being on a Duke on the road and a 4 on the track. Too much adapatation both ways.
Then you start thinking Aprilia Mille ... lot more value for money than a Duke indeed... but have you sat on one?? It is so big and bulky that I did not feel happy with it ... so back looking for a Duke then!!! ;-)
Come on, once one a Duke, never on another bike!!
