Reason I ask is that the Duc 848 in white has caught my eye. I love my R11S, and have no intentions of purchasing another BMW as long as I live, unless I found the right GS. The 1098 is hot, but as pointed out most of them don't get shoved to the 25% performance line. The 848 just seems the better Duc for me.

And unlike the Bay or Long Island or metro mega burg, the midwest (1) doesn't have twisties to speak of, and; (2) with the infestation of H-D a Duc would be taken for yet-another-rice-burner until you smoked the Gixxer next to you.

Plus 1 on your stats please!
