Hey I just looked up the specs on that bike, it's 1200 cc and only 130 hp... It down about 60 hp from the 1098R which has the same displacement. Even the smaller base 1098 has 30 more HP and is 10K cheaper.

The only Duc I've ridden was a 999...I do like the 1098R and would buy that one.

The 1098 isn't the direct competition for the HP2. The 848 is basically the closest Duc competition. The HP2 is a boxer motor. Where the Duc is a V-twin. If you're going to compare it, check the specs on the 848 since thats what it runs against. Allthough they are both different style of motors.

And you DO know that the flat twin is an aircooled engine?
