    So here we are, finally on the road and first run to work today.. Yes it behaved impeccably and I'm very pleased. After running Ducati's for many years it is a certainly different. Compared to my ST2, it doesn't give the feel of power that the Duke gives, but it is certainly faster, I also think the Duke gives more confidence cornering at speed, but this is marginal, the Sprint is very "adequate".. Overall, yes I like it..

    I also came from a Ducati (2005 1000SS In Senna Grey) Loved my superduc, but the riding position was killing me, so she had to go, Now I have a 2002 Daytona 955i its only been a week but already having loads of fun :)

    You dont get the same admiring looks IMHO as you get on the Ducati, but I sold the Duc for 3 Grand, and got the Daytona for 1800 Quid, so loads of money left for having fun with ;-) and TBH I am enjoying the Daytona more as a riders bike then I did the Ducati.
