the riding on my ss is a litle harsh really, but i have ridden one with differetnt risers (cycle cat) and it was much more comfortable. The ss is just a great all around sport bike for me, it has plenty of power and has all the good stuff. It was my first Duc, and I would never buy anything but a Duc now(maybe that speed or an aprillia) they aren't much more than a new Jap bike if you think about it...and they have great resale. The SS is a great bike, I can't say enough about that, and the sound! I have A DP kit, the Termi's are the ticket. I have had NO problems at all, perfect startup and idle quality is great. I hear that they are extremely bulletproof...but look at the bikes the ds is in now....
