Hi everyone, I´m new here.

Just wanted to ask a little about the Duke 690. I´m serioiusly considering to buy one, but I want to do some research first. Almost everything I read about the Duke is good, exept for one thing which bothers me a little bit.
Some reviewers say that it is almost untolerable to ride slowly (city traffic) under say 300rpm´s.

So my question is: 1. is that true
and 2. how is your general experience with maintenance and other ownership issues?

kind regards
