Out of that bunch I'd have to go with the rc8 even though ktms are over priced for what they are.

Why choose?....Buy all four!!! In fact, buy a fifth and you could ride a different one each day of the week!!

Can I have your job?! What the heck do you do to be able to afford those?! (I'm thinking of upping the mortgage to get that duke lol)
The streetfighters my pic. I'm one of those weirdos that don't like the RC8 and think it's a rip off.
There's a shit-load of triples out there now (still cool but)
I've never even seen the new duke in person or out and about it's definitely more of a standout imo.

Yeah trying to find a shred of sympathy for them but FAILING!
Wait til they have gone bankrupt then pick one up for peanuts! (like everyone is doing with Buells at the mo LOL!)
My vote is for the Speed Triple, really nice matt black one in AMPS at the mo...well it was there a few weeks back. I had it out briefly and the first time I let the clutch out I was nearly on the back wheel LOL. It was FUN!
That said Ducati Street fighter...hmmmm
Its about what rocks YOU eh?

Why would they when you could have a Duke Streetfighter? Possibly the best looking Duke ever made IMHO.

I asked the question because he was talking about those two bikes as a possible new ride a few months ago.
EDIT: No sorry I got that wrong (thats unlike me:innocent:) what he was talking about was a Moto Morini Corsaro Veloce .

Dude, them are some very different styles you got in the line up...so your decision depends very much what kinda riding you do, or want to do.
The triple is out of question as it superseded by the ducati.
My personal favorite would be the KTM followed closely by the Streetfighter.
I'd go for something that has maneuverability (so not the harley :) ) and fun to lay flat around the twisties.

The R model RC8 is a very capable bike..........are you?good Question the answer is no but the same can be said of the majority of GXSR, R1, ZX10R and CBRR owners
