I'm not even sure that putting the superbike engine in it is an
improvement on the aircooled 2v motored version...

The agency that decided to advertise the longer service intervals by
using the logan "Extended maintenance at 24,000km" ought to be shot.

Mind you, as it's a Duke it's probably true.

That said, it's the first new Duke for a while I've given a second
glance, but for me the one to have would be the base model. Way, way
cheaper, devoid of a lot of fripperies and somehow purer.

I daresay I'd have the ABS and centre stand on it, too.
