Personally, I think Ducs are some of the most beautiful machines on two wheels...they're just flat out sexy! I have only ridden one...a 749 Paso back when I had my K75S...it was a tiny bike so at 6'3" I felt like my head was over the front axle...not a real confidence booster, but it was high on the "cool" factor.
Been a long time since I made the ride to Alice's. Maybe 30 years. Last time I remember some Norton and Triumph posers giving me the stink eye when I rolled up on a Kawi triple, clubman bars, Michelin PZ2's, chambers cackling, and a nice blue haze. When I left, they had already started down the ridge. Split them nice and tight entering a curve. I thought I could hear them coughing.
