yeah...but that's the race/factory version! you can't ride that on the street....

and have you seen the road going with the 3 lights - that is no where near as pretty.

Yours has the appeal of the race bike and the usability of the road machine.

Only you can answer that question......

BUT

The 1098R would be my beast of choice....

No Mistake Dock...... 

Sorry but the Aprilia just doesn't do it for me.... Personal opinion of course......

Refer to the thread "Heard it before I saw it".....

I say no more...  [moto]

[mattyvas]

No mistake at all.
Remember you didn't like your last Aprillia.
It was a bit too much of a

If it was me thinking of buying 'sedici.....

I would have purchased 1 1098R, 1 Sport Classic, 1 Hypermotard.  ,  , 

But, to each his own.

The Aprilia has blue wheels....... Shades of BMW there. And it is nowhere near as good looking or does it have the street cred, or does it have sound (well maybe, don't know that yet).

The Aprilia is a no go - not a collector item, not really anything yet.....

But if you are having second thoughts then go into the showroom and look at a Desmo. If you still feel that you don't want to commit then move on and enjoy looking at all the new bikes making their way onto the showroom floor over the next few months....There will be a heap after the Milan show.

For me, the Desmo would be a dream bike but I would be very reluctant to take it onto the race track as a 'track' bike - for that I would get a 'R' series Duc that would not break my heart when I dropped it..... Because I know I will one day....

Finally, remember that the Desmo will be a bike that people want for many, many years to come - The Aprilia will just be the bike for next year (maybe not even that)......

I'd buy the sedici, take off all the flaring, put on some riser bars (and other bling) and turn it into the Mother of all Monsters.....

I'm waiting for one of our American friends to do that first with an extended swing arm and 400 rear tyre!

for gods sake man wake up to your self it a desmosedeci  just the car park value let alone riding one of the most sought after machines in history, no go slap your self 

[sydmonster]

 Dock, the biggest difference is that the 'dici carries a stigma, a story, a history, its an enigma. Looked after examples are likely to appreciatte!

 I think you done the right thing! - Chris

ps, if in doubt give me the 'sedici and go get yourself that aprillia
