Jerk 

Someday I will come over there and kick the Tea out of your limey ass 

My Sense of humour.. is very British 

well , im going to come over, with the power of the pound , Buy loads of gas and run the richest Dodgy charger and make u bow down to the mightly pound!!

Just to throw in my two cents, I agree w/ a previous post...the Hyosung GT250 Comet is a awesome choice.  Hyosung was one of the major developers and engineers for Suzuki, which gives Hyosung much respect.   www.hyosungmotorsusa.com

Notice the frame of the hyosung GT250...looks almost identical to the GS except the GT250 has a 90 degree 250cc engine.  I'm also a huge fan of the GT650 which is a beefy SV650 but comes stock with 11 more HP and for $3k - $4k less.  Plus, I WAS looking to invest in a 900cc Duc Monster then found out the GT650 has 79HP stock and the 900cc has 81HP stock and would cost me $5k more "brand new".  Needless to say, I'm looking for a Hyosung dealer in the Richmond, Va area.

First: are you seriously comparing a hyosung to a Duc??  Does that Hyo come with a full Brembo brake system, dry clutch and fully adjustable suspension.......bone stock??
Second: check into aftermarket support between the two bikes.  The opportunities with an M900 are endless.
Third: I don't know where you're finding M900's brand new, Ducati hasn't made them for a few years now, they gave way to the S2R1000 and M800 just like the 750ss and 900ss gave way to the 800ss and 1000ds.

i've checked out a hyosung 250 in person. to me it really looked like a cheaply made plastic bike. the only thing i thought was cool on the bike was the display. it was different. i'm not sure exactly how to describe it other than different. now, of course this was a first year model bike so they may be getting better, i dunno. 

Ok ok, might have over stepped my bounds throwing the Duc under the bus.  I do LOVE them, but just can't afford one, thus my haste to jump on the Hyosung bandwagon.  Either way, they're a young company and only time will tell.  When I said BRAND NEW, I know they aren't making anymore in that style, but 99 in BRAND NEW to me.  Yes yes, I'm cheap I know.
