Yup, it’s a different beast. I traded my Muscle for it. Although I loved the VRrod, I never looked back. I don’t really consider the Duc a cruiser. It’s a great bike to go out for a rip, but I will not venture out too far on it, just like the Bully I traded for the F6B. Launch control got old pretty quick! I ride it mainly as a commute to work to justify having it. Insurance is also killing me up here too, but it’s the price I pay for having toys.
