But all other tests have been done, and its already understood that the Duke is faster than CBR in 0-60 and 0-100.

those tests were carried out by BAL themself and since they are teh manufacturer, it is always gonna be biased/debatable and the performance figures they quoted of other bikes are also not 100% correct.

On departments like handling given the power to weight ratio one can fairly expect the duke to out perform the cbr theoretically but also depends on the rider skill and how healthier the machine is ; overall i would vote the duke better than cbr in city condition any day but its my perspective

Only wished it came with a fullfairing... Wonder if the R15 fairing will fit..

Very interesting, as I always wanted the R15 to come with forward controls, ape hangers and floorboards

Or maybe even a stepney and AC.
