I would love a duke and in particular a 749R. Not got the money to buy one or afford the maintenance and servicing schedule.
You should be alright on your pay though Jay

Bet you would have loved riding it though mate. You could then have wound up Sue by telling her you were gonna buy one.

Waddya mean probably? Dont you remember anything from school. The perfect motorcycling equation on a guaranteed 100% probability:
Duc2 + H2O = AA/RAC
Get wise to the algebra Jay m8y!
Voila!
