I hope i'm not dissapoin ted

if done up right, the 914/6 is going to be a blast...and it should have less maintance issues than the duck

beautiful bike, I'd like to have one in my garage on a pedastal just so I can stare at it

Yep, that bike is a beut'.

But, it can't match the lines of that machine in the background!

I had one of those, mine was the open fairing version. It was the last bike I owned and I still want it back. I am sorry to tell you, yes you will miss it. No more wheelies, no more desmo V-twin drone.

But I'm sure a 3.2 914 will help pacify your loss.
