Do the Ducs have to run restrictor plates?

Very nice bike. I've always compared it to the GSXR 750 as far as where it "fits in". I had no desire to buy the last 848...would have taken the 750 over it but I do like this one.

You could put fucking strobes on it, and some comatose cager cocksucker would still prolly pull out on ya.

2) Middlewieght my ass!

That said, if someone wanted to give one to me, I'd keep it, fo sho...

I'm going to disagree with the brightly colored bike theory... Next time you see a bike coming down the road, tell me if you can see weather it's black, white, orange, purple, brightly colored, dark colored, etc when coming up on you at a cross street. You can't, until after the point in which you would have noticed ANYTHING. The only thing you see when it counts is lights... if anything at all.

If I owned one, it'd be hard for me to stop sitting in my garage and staring at it.

I wouldn't put it in the garage... it would go in the living room. Seriously.

Nah, just jack it up and hang it on the wall... like with one of those trailer hitch haulers.

Far fewer than R6's or R1's.
