no dispute......the duke will be more like a TIN of bolts being rattled at 5 rpm!!

It's ok guys I like the GS as well and have ridden 1100, 1150, and 1200 varients. I was seriously interested in the 1200 when I read the initial spec-'Lighter than a 999, and 100BHP' yeh, right-try 225 kg and 85bhp. My ST4S made it feel distinctly underpowered-comfy though.

Looks like a normal sportsbike size rear tyre so maybe it will have a 17 on the front as well.

If they would just release some more pics I could see me changing my deposit from the SF, in fact had I known about the strada aperta I would have put a deposit on that instead !
