Planning a Spring Stable CHange, Ducati, Aprillia orr ?

Aprilia is the shit, and always will be the shit. No matter what city you ride in, you see Ducatis every day........ why not get something less common (and better-looking IMO).

Hmmmmmm, Aprilias aren't common? Weird.

You're a little close to af1 for an accurate opinion dear. I've seen a total of four in about five years. 2 rsvs, a tuono, and a futura. Compare that to the five or six ducs I see a week usually see a couple triumphs a week too

Having owned exotic cars in a rural setting in the past I am of course concerned about points of service. Because a machine no matter how beautiful or high performance that needs service 4 hours away on a on a weekday is little more than pretty sculpture. I have one Aprillia dealer about 2 hours from me (an acceptable distance if the bike is the right one) Ducati is about 45 minutes from me.
Back to my original post, are there other bikes that I am missing that I should be considering?

BMW R1200R or F800R

LOVE the F800R, but you might enjoy the torque of the 1200 motor better.
