      For the part in bold, no one can tell you for sure if your body will adapt to Duke's *requirements*. Even the riders here who might have been in your situation before and later adapted themselves to Duke can't tell you for sure if you will be able to do the same, simply because each person is different. You may or may not adapt. This can only be experienced through time and that is the risk you will have to take if you decide to go for the Duke. There are certain questions for which only you have to find the answer. This is one of those.

      As far as my opinion goes, buy the motorcycle that you like to ride and want to enjoy. Some things cannot be bought based on requirements and motorcycles are one of those rare things. Otherwise, litre class motorcycles are pretty much useless in a country like ours. But that's just my opinion! Ride both of them, if you have any *good* friend who owns either or both these motorcycles, then ride it to your satisfaction and then decide. Otherwise, insist the motorcycle dealer to give you a good test ride. Convince him that you are a potential customer and you won't invest in a 1Lakhs + rupee motorcycle unless you are given a good test ride.

      Buy the motorcycle that you enjoy! It will fulfil your requirements automatically, eventually. My opinion is without a typical logic
