That would be cool, but if they don't homologate it for MotoAmerica, it
wouldn't sell very well (maybe) and if they DID homologate it, then it
would destroy the class.

I haven't ridden the Duke 790 yet - I know you love yours - but I love my
FZ07 which is similar in concept.  However, the Duke 790 in full race
fairing trim is FUGLY!

Hey Pags

Yes I love my Duke 790 and Fugly cannot be seen from the bike.  =/8^]

I sold my 899 and bought a new SS/S.  Panigale looks with out the Panigale
pain.  I am just too old for that tight riding position and the SS is just
relaxed enough I can ride all day and still be able to walk.  My only
issues are the mirrors vibrate so much you cannot see anything and it could
use a diet.  I like it more than the Duke because it is RED!

I don't think it's ugly at all - in fact, I love the look - but in race
trim, it sure is FUGLY!

The 690 I saw last year at Barber Vintage days had full fairings and custom
frames.  Looked very expensive.
