Another one here that suggests you get a GS-style bike as a better complement to your Duc.

I just completed two long tours: 1800 miles in four riding days on a 650 V-Strom and 5400 miles in 11 riding days on a FJR. While the FJR was undeniably faster, the Strom was actually the more comfortable bike overall with roomier ergos. There is a lot to be said for a "tall in the saddle' riding position and the versatility of having a GS style bike for non-tarmac riding is liberating.

You have the hard-core sport bike - go versatile and get a GS (or at least the Tiger).
