Oi the 600 Duke is a nice package and don't break down ;)
I do like the jdm 400 and 250. If only I was a lithe as a Japanese person. You know there was a 400 monster! Fun bike and still have some of it left. They were really cheap and no one wanted them here.

Ha ha. I once interviewed Federico Minoli who was the president of Ducati, he told me that when TPG bought out Ducati in 1998 they did a review of all the components used and they found several electrical components had a 100% failure rate - meaning they were guaranteed to fail during the warranty period.

SRX 400 - the one that was so popular in Japan. Very little performance diff between the 400 and 600. The 400 more or less does what my old Ducati 600SS did. Minus the breakdowns.
Atsushi Ichijo who designed the SRX (and also the Yamaha VMAX) is in his late 70s now but still riding around Japan on a red SRX600.
