Pretty much a snap for me. Bought the XL250RC in 1983 with about 1500km on the clock.

Traded it about a year later for a brand spanking XR200RD
The RC8 is 10 years old now and a bit of a beast. 170 Hp (factory) and 186kg. It has a full Akrapovic exhaust and quick shifter but apart from that pretty standard. The 790 Duke on the other hand has all the latest electronic bells and whistles - 4 ride modes, traction control, launch control, wheelie control, lean angle sensitive ABS, quick shifter and auto blipper. All of which you can turn off. I didn't think I would appreciate all the latest tech as much as I have but I have to admit it's pretty cool. It is an absolute hoot to ride.
This was my last roadie...now ride a Giant Trance X1 :D Looked heaps better when I imported some genuine bar end mirrors from Triumph in the UK.

Amazing fuel economy on them and very reliable. Went from 124kg to 99kg and about a 20% increase in power going to the XR. The warranty on the XR always made me chuckle. They would only honour the warranty for races up to 72 hours in duration. Only reason the front wheel was on the XR was so you had three points to stand it on when you parked it.
Looked like this one with the tank cover off.
