1)  It's SO freakin' strong - torque in buckets (I used to ride Yamaha 2-strokes).
2)  Great looks - chicks dig it.  Like me.
3)  When Bubba, in his white pickup truck, pulled next to me on the freeway @ 100 mph... and I looked at him and just shifted up into 6th.  He vanished.

The howling, bottomless pit of torque I'm in the middle of when accelerating out of a corner.

That, and the cool-looking beer tray in the back.

Couldn't stand it and took the 695 out to use the
cages as steering cones on LBJ and 75 for a spin.
Even a little Duc is fun.  [moto]

The fact I don't have spend an hour taking off plastic to do a 10 minute oil/plug change.  [thumbsup]
Handling, torque, low top-speed (my insurance guy likes that I am not riding a 140+ MPH Japanese bike any longer) Till I can afford an 1198 that is...  [evil]
Bling, bling, and more bling. (One thing I really enjoyed from my HD days) Unlike HD though, most Duc bling is useful and IMPROVES performance. 8)
Finally, it does not get lost in a sea of identical GSXR/CBR/Rx bikes at meets and group runs.  [puke]

i like that girls crowd around it outside bars and ask things like "are those twin-turbos?" while pointing at the exhaust.
You can live to 100 if you give up all the things that make you want to live to 100.

To which the appropriate response is, "Yeah, the twin turbos are sweet, but you should see my flux capacitor!!!".  ;D ;D ;D

I really like the fact that I've had it for 4 days and I haven't been able to get this stupid grin off my face yet.  ;D
It's such a fine line between stupid and clever.
