The main thing with the L.E is just the colors. The beautiful pics, compliments of charles, are the L.E. Waaaay back in the day, Duc released a Tri color bike and it was the thing to have for any Duc conosuer. I think that is the same thing they are going for here, if you really love Duc and you have the money, this is what you will go for. If you just want to ride the shit out of it, The S model will be just fine, shit even the base model would be badass!!! Anyway, this thing will be NUTS out of the corners with that many torquies. The 900ss I ride is a little crazy out of the corners sometimes and it is slow but still has some torque. The torque can be scary cuz the ass end wants to slide. But anyway, nuff said, this bike is GORGEOUS and fast!
