I own 3 Sportbikes and the Duc is without a doubt, the most uncomfortable bike of the three. The reach is far and the controls are less than stellar. But I knew that going in and changed it. I added a set of Superbike style bars to it and now it is a pleasure to ride. If you are 5'10" or less, you are in for a handfull. It is NOTHING like a monster.

The motor is sweet, simple aircooled Desmo with good power and torque. Has classic looks, but doing 400 miles plus a day can be brutal in stock form.

I would highly recommend you try one before you buy........resale is not exactly crisp on these and if it is gonna be your only bike, well you want it to be one you really like to ride. I like mine, but I have 3 and it is not my favorite, but do like it.
