The Duc has that nice wow factor.... but its uncomfortable as fuck. The R1 is much more comfortable, and honestly, i like the looks of the 07/08 more than the Duc. I know... blasphemy right?


The only thing i would have to say is that it didnt even really run away with the comparos last year. The zx10 has a stompin ass motor and that tainted alot of editors, which made it real close last year.

Now... im not gonna lie, i'd rock the new 09 CBR1000RR Repsol Edition

No not blasphemy...just another opinion like we all have. I have never ridden the 1098 but I do like the looks.

I have ridden a 999R Duc that belongs to another member here. It's a sexy bike indeed BUT my R1 is much more comfy to ride and overall I just like my R1 better. However when they came out with the 1098 I did think humm....I could see me on that bike.

I would have to ride the 1098 to honestly say I'd rather have it but I will say it's about the only bike out that I "might" take over my R1.

As far as why do I have both....well initially I was thinking 600 for the tight twisties and track and the R1 for everyday riding. However that changed when my wife took the MSF course and started riding...she actually owns the R6 now.

I personally think a 750 is about the perfect balance of power and size. I did consider the GSXR 750 but since I had owned a 2000 R1 several years ago and liked it then...I went with another R1.

The 848 Duc is nice but I would buy the 1098 over it all day long.

That 1000RR is sweet and I like Hondas as well.
