Thanks! I'm very passionate about that bike as it is very trick from the factory. Lightened crank and rods, Pankl pistons, Ti valves, one off heads and cams, throttle bodies off the RC8, Akrapovic header, nitrate coated suspension, one-off rear shock, very firm valving, billet upper clamp, Suter slipper clutch, WP steering damper and more. 128 hp to the rear at 9,800. And most importantly it matches my car.
I have a few friends with Streetfighters and they cross over well between street and track usage. The 848's are also a good ride. As is the 2011 and up KTM RC8R's, they are actually comfortable enough to do 400 mile days thanks to the adjustable bars, pegs, and subframe.
Here's the Duc I had before the KTM came along.
