Handling was/is similar and very good with both. The power to weight is also similar but just delivered totally different. The R6 is gutless down low but the Duc was ready to roll as soon as you twisted your wrist. In the upper rpm the R6 would take over...where the Duc would peter out and be ready for the next gear...the R6 is just getting started...just wind that baby up !!

All in all both are great bikes...to me...they just deliver the power differently...the Duc down low and the R6 up top.

That's why you buy a liter and get both!!!
