640 every time, the 620 is an ugly ugly bike. the 40 is much nicer and a much better bike. Go for it, they are great fun to ride.

p.s. I think you'll find they are both the same size cc, too.. the 640 just got called 640 for some reason?! it's the same cc as the 620 though. But a better, newer bike

I don't really know duke2 prices too well to be honest. Look around on ebay and get some idea.. that duke you're looking at though seems to be a mis-match of parts.................... I'd say look around for something that's in 1 piece! Plenty of other bikes out there, don't rush into the first one you find like I tend to always do Rolling Eyes you'll regret it one day maybe.. .Laughing

Anyone know how the Duke's are as supermotos?

I think I can remember seeing the specs and they actually seemed to be quite heavy compared to some of the ones closer to enduro bikes.

The duke is a good compromise... If that is possible. Sort of a commutable supermoto, thought they are v.heavy compared to a normal 'smoto
