Expensive, but good
All peace, joy and flourishing landscapes? Except for the moment of setting up in curves and the feeling that it could get a bit hot in the summer thanks to the curvature on the right knee, there is one more point. The bags of the monster buyer should be deep and well filled, because on the price tag are 11,200 euros. This is cheap, but only in monster circles. A performance-comparable Kawasaki Z 900 costs 9,596 euros, 9,099 euros the Yamaha MT-09.
At this point, the objectivity of the tester begins to get thin. I would take the Duc and console myself with the fact that it saves 6,290 euros compared to the 1200s. That's nonsense, I know. But it's almost as stupid as motorcycling at all.
Gorgeous.
