Russ, the Aprilia is an old workhorse (very reliable) just used to ride on the track (beginners and ol' folks), the Triumph is for when you feel the need for torque, and the Ducati is for riding.......mostly back and forth to the shop (but you look good doing it ). Next up, a shiny new Harley; I'm just waiting for some doctor (or psychic) to tell me I've got two weeks to live, OR, my wife tells me she's leaving me, whichever comes first.
