I know Duc's don't have a marked redline on the tach....but do they have a limiter?

 Most people get confused as hell when I say that... the earlier ones didn't. Now they have an added limiter, something about the rockers not having springs - doesn't mean you can't grenade the motor, just have to know when to stop/shift. I've never hit mine on either the 748 or 998... so I can't tell you from experience where the bugger is

Well...you really dont need to hit the limiter with all the torque throughout the rev range. Which is probly why they dont have the redline.

they really are a nice bike, and when you keep up on the sparkplugs they dont get that bad gas milage honestly
more power then you could use with a few cheap "free" mods, being able to lift the front tire at 100 is a nice touch too just im too big a pussy to ride this bike like that

I wanna see if they'll let me ride it. They are notorious for over pricing their stuff...as most dealers are.

and the suspension is actually pretty damn good and when you adjust it properly it really can shine, the brakes are damn good, the power is everywhere and the reliablility is great, one of the guys ran his rc vs a busa and was off the line faster and only got passed when they hit over 100mph
what price range are you looking at i know of some pigs that are sale on other boards that are going for reasonable price
