well clarkmannning... trading a ten for a 999?...
owning a Duc.. i'll tell you this... they are more expensive than your Kawi in every way... parts, service, insurance, maintenance... and they steer a lot heavier.. ( more strength on the bars to lean her over)..

but i like a bike that doesn't need a steering dampener.. and i REALLY like the twin motor... so much torque.. and the sound of the pipes are like an old chevy... nice...

the Duc will feel a lot different than a japanese bike.. take some getting uesd to the sound of the dry clutch as well... try to get a ride on the 999 first... if you like it... nab it... you can always ride it for a while... and change again...
