I can see where the BMW could come close to filling the Ducati role in that kind of relationship. I guess it all depends on how far towards the polar opposites you would like to be. Your V-Rod isn't the big, heavy, underpowered, slow pig that my Road King is. But, then again, the Monster isn't the narrowly focused sport bike my Super Sport is, either. The V-Rod and BMW are closer to center from both ends. Definitely far enough apart to have distinctly different roles, though. I think with that in mind, you might really like the BMW. I know I would... and the V-Rod...
That's what I'm thinking. The BMW is crazy expensive for a naked bike. I'll start looking at used ones and see if I can find a good deal.
