You can't beat a duke for character and soul which the Japs can't seem to capture no matter how good looking and quick and gimicky they make their bikes.

I have this a few times too along with comments about reliability and pricing etc. My reply is always the same."Have you owned one?" Invariably the answer is "no".

I rarely meet people who are as enthusiastic or passionate about jap bikes as Ducati owners are about theirs, which says a lot really.

I would sell my ZX6 tomorrow, but never the 749. Shes a keeper!
