Thank you all for your comments so far! I watched FortNine's video. I've watched him before and like his video's. I think he captures the idea quite nicely! The Super Duke isn't a sport bike like a CBR, but with its' ridiculous power and torque I decided to throw it in the mix. It would be slightly more practical, but it doesn't seem to have the same level of Honda reliability from what I've read, and that's one hesitation I have. Both BMW and KTM make awesome bikes, but they don't seem to be up to the Japanese level of refinement. Maybe I'm wrong though.
How did you find the powerband as far as usefullness? The information I have is that it's high in the rev range. Did you find that an issue or not?

I had a proper test on this a while back and absolutely loved it for the road. Clearly it is not a track bike, and so purely for track riding something sportier would be appropriate, but for riding on the road this bike is just amazing. It is comfortable, can be used for some seriously long rides (touring) and is very competent. It is more forgiving than some more extreme sport bikes, but I would recommend that you at least try and have a test on one before deciding on anything.
