rode some other Duc's

1098: uncomfortable-yes, powerful-oh yeah, impressive-yes....could never own one. I felt like it didn't belong on the street and riding one anyplace else other than the track was injustice.

696: comfortable-yes, underpowered- kind of but crazy power is not what its about with this bike. Overall a just really nice bike.
matter of fact, I don't think you could beat it for a bikes in its class.

Glad I got a Hyper. Got back on it and it was like home.

Perhaps, but eventually your friends will see you riding it.
