Nice bike and a retro with some real modern handling and power. Love the motor. A friend is a Duc nut and has a 999, monster and is now adding the GT1000 to his garage.
I am tired of hearing about the cost of maintenance with Ducs. Yeah they cost a bit more but not enough to stop someone from owning one. What really costs more is not the maintenance but the parts if you highside one. My friend and I compared two years of maintenance from my gixer and his duc. The duc cost $140 more a year but was more fun, better looking, got better mpg and had character. Of course it cost more to purchase though.
