Riding impressions: Ducati Streetfighter vs Aprilia Tuono (lots of reading)

[butcher bergs]

Bergs, I do remember seeing you on Friday but didn't know who you were.

I'll make it a point to say hello to you next time I'm there.

Paul...notice that most of the positive Tuono posts are posted by Tuono owners. Surprise.

And that there is no one here that owns a Streetfighter posting up about how great they are. Why is that? I think you know.

I would buy the Streetfighter in a heartbeat. I love the narrow gas tank and the riding position. I didnt experience the problem with the heatshield either.

And all the nonsense about relative reliability is just that...

Thought someone should chime in with something positive to say about Ducati.

Agreed. For whatever reason I did not notice the heatshield issue. Maybe it was the rediculous engine and the symphony of mech noise and termi's...fucking awesome bike. I want one.
