We are talking about the Duc's not the RC in regards to the expensive service.
the Duc's constantly need to have Valve Adjustments done at the service intervalls so its a little more involved then a simple oil change and retorquing bolts
No, no! They've gotten better. Now the new ones can go 5K before a valve adjustment. Oh, us *****! Always making progress. Somebody please pass the pasta. I'm hungry...
That would for sure be a tough call. I personally love the sound of the dry clutch on the Duc's. But i think the RC has a better exhaust note. I think its just really a moral dilemma!
On the cover of Sport Bike Magazine (I think. Don't quote me on the rag's title) there's a shootout between the 1098 and the new CBR 1000. Let me give you a quick synopsis: "Of course the 1098 is better, it costs almost twice the $$. What else would you expect for that much dough? Bang for the buck...CBR 1000 is a GREAT bike." My only point is a simple one. Of course the Duc is a better bike, what else would you expect for almost $20K. I'll stick with my Honda, thank you...
