Title: New Duc owner here
Post by: muscle_cars_only on May 18, 2008, 05:08:13 PM
Hi,

My name is Dave and I purchased my first Duc. on 5-17-2008. It's a 06 620 W/a whopping 1,200 miles on her. I've been riding since 1985 . I recently sold two of my bikes ( 98 600cbr smoking Joe and 04 600cbr) I still have my speed triple though. I fell in love with the Duc due to it's torq , light weight ,handling ,and looks. I'm 5'6 @ 142lbs and love the triple but find it a wee bit heavy for "full carving".

Any insight on these machines would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks in advance,

  Dave

Thanks for the warm welcome!!!!!!!

I don't have ant pics yet. Wait a min.......................................... OK I have some now. Keep in mind it's a stocker. The pics aren't that good , I just opened the door to the garage and snapped some.

Forgive the mess in the garage ( it's killing me too!!!!!! )

The only thing I've had a chance to do to it so far was replace the black wire ties W/red ones ( It was bothering me something fierce ) I've ordered GPR oval TI high mounts for it along with bar end mirrors.
Those damn reflectors on the forks are leaving,so are the ones on the over populated plate mount. Unfortunately everything will be going to be on hold for a month . I'm leaving for Brazil tomorrow for work ;)
