One thing is the V-Twin pull is very deceptive. I have been caught out on my RC more than once after horsing around on the RR hard. One pulls like a 2 stroke and the other just gets there in a hurry. The ass dyno is easily fooled by a twin (an 848 should make as much power as your 929 maybe more and be lighter)
Rode a Ducati 848 today. Not too impressed
Compared to my '00 cbr929 it sucked balls. It doesnt have anywhere near as much power, you have to rev it quite high all the time. No low-down power at all :S It also vibrates alot, like the hyosung 650 i rode, maybe just inherent to V-twins?
Just feels kind cheap overall too everything is plasticy :S This was my dreambike until today. No steering dampener either so bumpy patches on the road were a bit hairy...
It does look and sound better than mine though... But for $25000 compared to my $6000, no way i would ever buy one now.
Don't get me wrong it is a good bike and is fun to ride, just is not as nice as nice as i would have expected, And definitely not worth the money IMO.
