81 hp and 368 lbs? Oh, yeah... that'll go! 8)

Motards are kind of a waste where I live in straight, flat, south Jersey. That bike would be a ton of fun in a place with more curves and hills.

It looks nice. Might be a bit tall for me.

It looks like the same motor as my wifes S2R 800 with a few more ponies. It should be great fun.

Good thing they went with the same exhaust as the 1100! :D I saw a prototype with the same ultra mfugly exhaust as the new ultra mfugly Monster.

Ah, there's plenty of bikes with a very similar or better power to weight ratio.

Except that Duc probably has more low end torque than most, so you'd never have to replace that front tire. :twisted:

Nice redo of the Hypermotard. Looks a lot like the KTM SuperEnduro 690

We've got the same thing here in NYC but these motards come in really handy for dodging taxis and clogged streets. Not sure if you live in a town or big city.

paul246... I see you live in Canada. You'll probably get several chances to use a bike like this. Have you seen the Monster 1200.

Check it out www.monster1200.com It's really bad...
