I really didn't mean to imply that my Ninja was any better than a Duc.
I have to talked to a few Duc owners (750SS owners in particular) who
say that the power is something less than overwhelming. That said,
I would love to have a 900SS. I guess I should have been a bit more
specific. If you have something that weighs that same as the 750, go
for the extra cubes.
I think that fact that I own a GTV-6 shows that I don't care about maximum
power (it's no slug though) to the exclusion of everything else. The note
and the handling are more important to me. I just bought a Ninja because I
couldn't afford a Duc.
Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers, I'll probably be getting a 900SS next
year...
