    400duc

    Yeah we do still the 400duc, Its not too bad.
    They are not very fast, (my gixer would pass it like its not moving.) But those bikes are not made for gp racing.
    Good cheap Duc to get started on.

    If someone has a 996 for similar, LET ME KNOW!!
    It does how ever wheelie in third! What a machine.
    Hopefully ride the R1 this week. Depends if im good at work or not.
    This is all heresay, but if it's for real I wouldn't be bothering with a Duc unless you can afford to run it: A mate of mine who's a bike mechanic told me that a 998 needs the cam belts done every 10k km, a standard service is $1k and it's easier to take the heads off when adjusting the desmo valves.
    I rode an 03 RSV Mille a few weeks back, mate, if you can get one for that kind of money, buy it! If you decide the R1 is more your thing you can sell the RSV and make a profit.

    As exellent as the R1 range is. See what it is worth next year . Jap bike's seem to loose money faster than they Go . May be something to do with the fact that there are just so many of them made ? For real world riding The Mille would be the Great bike to go for . If you are into doing 260 plus if your skill is up to it then the R1 has to be the choice , Happy buying Dude . Sensei
