Good looking bike...but word round the campfire is Pril is having some issues with the new engines.

Why not a Hypermotard?

1100cc vs 750cc. It's an insurance thing. Oh and the Duc is a lot more money for not much more product. That 750 puts out pretty close to the same power as the HyperMotard

60 ft-lb at 4500 RPM. And yeah it's a little heavier than that hypermotard, but I like the idea of a water cooled engine.

Insurance can't be much for you. I'm paying under 5 bills for full coverage on a 1200 cc engine.

I pay $450/year full coverage on the 750 now. Clean record and Im 37yo. MI insurance sucks. Liberty Mutual goes strictly by cc's so a hypermotard would cost me a lot more to insure even though it doesn't have much more power.

I suggest you find a different insurance company.
