I rode a friend's 390 Duke on the Dragon, and it had plenty of power, handled great, and was a blast. I've heard mixed reviews about its general reliability though, and I didn't care for the way the seat locked me in. It took some effort just to be able get my butt to slide over to get a knee down. When I got used to that after a mile or two, I had no complaint. It has way more torque than you'd expect an engine that size to have.
