Default Duc 749S or 1000RR??

MAINTENANCE AND MONEY ASIDE: Which would you prefer to use on the street (80%) and some track (20%)

Hey all, just want to see what everyone thinks about these two. I already have a '03 CBR 600RR that I will be using for the track. I want to get one of these two to use for the street and just a little at the track. I love the new 1000RR, because I already have the 6 and it looks and handles the same, just alot more power. I love the styling of the Duc and am interested in trying a V-Twin. Feel free to post your opinions

Go for the 1000. Once I got custom to the 600, it felt like it ran out of throttle, especially on the freeway.

Hi dude,

I've just bought the 1000rr and my husband has the 600rr, the Hondas are built for tracks, you only have to look at their first competitive races this year to see that!! My husband prefers the 6 on smaller twisty tracks, but my first trackday on the new one isn't for a month so I'll let ya know what it's like.
I previously had a 748 which was amazing on the tracks too, you can get on the gas harder as you are exiting a corner than you can on the blade. I think it just comes down to whether you prefer a twin or a 4? cos all 3 of the bikes you mention are gonna give you a good track experience.

I think this is the first time that I've heard that the girl has a bigger bike than the guy.
Nothing better than a couple that both rides. My girl got her bike license last year, now I just need to get her a bike.

CBR without question. I would possibly take one cbr1000 over 2 749s.

Normally I'd make fun of a girl on a bike, but I saw a chick on an R1 and I actually gave her props when I saw her ride by. Just because it was an R1 and those bikes are crazy.

Remind me what year this currently is?????????


:-X

:deepbreath:


I saw a man today when I was out on my bike, I gave him lots of space cos he looked like he couldn't ride for $hit..... in fact everytime I see a man riding a bike I presume that he can't ride properly, is really slow and only bought his bike because he has a small *&^%
I think he should be on something more sensible like a little scooter, or perhaps at home doing some D.I.Y. round the house!
But when I see a man riding a ZX10 I think 'wow' he's really something! he can walk into a dealer and buy a motorcycle cos he has a good credit rating.....



Point made?
