Having owned both of these, I can give a fair opinion. The RR was smooth and really fast, the gearing was spot on, too! You could literally use 2nd and 3rd all day. On the flip side, it felt heavier than what it was, the QS didn’t seem refined, either. I can honestly say the RR lacks soul. There is a certain feeling you get when you get on a duc. The RR is a great bike, it checks the boxes....the Duc is an awesome bike, it tugs on the heart strings....it has its quirks, but, it’s a joy to ride.

Lol yeah I know about the mirrors. I put my lid up there very gently. I probably won't do that again either. Mirror block offs and bar ends are on my want list. Those factory mirrors are pretty useless anyway.
As to the sound, I was pretty surprised how good it sounds stock. Nothing will ever beat an aftermarket full exhaust, but stock its still throaty on wide open throttle and it burbles nicely on the overrun. The only problem I have with the stock exhaust is the fact it probably weighs 50 pounds.

I have some rizoma bar ends bookmarked. Apparently they attach directly to the stock bar end weights already on the bike. I think the crg bar ends require the adapter.
That's all down the road though. I want that tail tidy first lol.
