The noise is just kind annoying for me now. It was different and cool when I first started riding, then the sound just got annoying, but Ducati isn't something mystical and not seen for me. They are just as abundant as Honda and Suzuki at the gap.

The funny thing is that Aprilias are rarer than Ducatis, and just as expensive, yet Ducati is seen as "the gold standard of bikes" for some reason

Definitely like the Prillers better than the Ducs, they are rare around here as well.

My local Aprilia dealers has bargain basement prices on all of his stock because he barely sells any of them.


My local KTM dealer is the biggest prick in the world. Went there to possibly buy a super duke, and he spent too much time micromanaging my experience that I told him to fuck off and left.
