I reckon DUC, but then, I have got a plate that says that (well, nearly) so I would say that wouldn't I?

Mind you, it's not DUKATI is it...the only reason to put DUK on it is because we Brits shorten Ducati to Duke. The term Duke might fit in well with our old British class culture and lend some faded delusions of grandeur by naming our beloved motorcycles after the chinless parasites that comprise our aristocracy, or naming them after a chavs alsatian come to that, so DUK doesn't do it for me.

Dunno Keith, 'spose DUK5 or DUK2 could work otherwise it's gotta be DUC.
