Yes a Duc is different than a Goose or the other birds.

I have owned many bikes as well and fo many of us it is a soul of a bike that is number one. I fist found this on my 2001 MotoGuzzi V-11 sport, secondly on a restored 74 MotoGuzzi Eldorado, never on my 2005 Harley Springer Classic and never on a in-line 4.

If the bike has no miles give the brakes a few hundred miles and there are inexpensive aftermarket pads.

I was amazed at the "shakes" my SS has on the highway upon roll-on. It is there and apparently part of theat "soul". My Guzzi twins were much smoother, albiet not as free reving.

I have looked and thought and looked and thought, what else would I like? Other than the "Vinvent" using the RC51 motor that never came to be and the MotoGuzzi MGS-01 Corsa.

It's a DUC
