Nice 748! one of the best looking dukes IMO... 400's Nice too, I've got an nc30 400 in bits at the moment, was my first road bike and had a bit of a rough time, two offs and a blown engine in 4 months haha. Got a cr125, gsxr600 and my little dturbo too. Welcome along

Do miss the Duke, but sadly I just didn't get on with her, very lazy engine, beautiful looking machine though, agree on the best looking dukes ever

My ZXR I've owned 5years? Give or take, I have more fun on that than the 748 lol proper ring it's neck everywhere, what a sound too, can't part with the thing

How did it ride compared to the zxr? I've ridden dad's superlight which is good fun to ride, centre of gravitys much higher and it's a lot less forgiving in the corners but like you say.. just ragging the 400's everywhere you can't beat a nice back lane on it! just puts a massive grin on your face. 

Mine was a bogstandard one, it was great to ride, I'm not saying it was a bad bike, if anything you could compare it to a 250 the way it handled, I just found the engine very lazy and didn't keep me on my toes - the 998 is a whole different kettle of fish but monies couldn't stretch at the time. I just didn't get on with the 748 as much as I hoped, which was a shame, I do regret selling her but it done me a favour to be fair! I get on better with the 848 but don't like the styling

compared to the 400, well I prefer the 400, it's just a cornering machine, a real pocket rocket, over engineered but never released to its full potential tune, my 400 is something else, it's small, but it goes well and you can really give it a good handful in places, I definitely benefited from a steering damper though!

Out of all my bikes.... I miss the RS125 the most lol had so much fun on that little thing, I had that from when I was 18, sold it when I was 23 (still had it when I bought the 400) couldn't bring myself to sell it, the ex persuaded me to sell it, I cried when I saw it get loaded into the back of a van!
