Well, Aprilia tend to be geared towards the more discerned riders...

Yeah well I'd have to ride them both since I've only ridden a Duc and really like the looks of the Duc better and have always liked them since the 916 came out.

I didn't say anything negative about the Aprilia...just that I lean more toward the Duc for MY $$.

.

Well, if we're talking 916/996/998 vs. Aprilia, I'd take the Ducati. Back then it looked like a Ducati and nothing else did.
The new Japanized Ducatis... not so much.
Aprilias still look like Aprilias, and while they might not always be the most handsome bikes out there, they get full marks for maintaining their distinctive styling cues.

Ducati's solid-colored paint jobs are boring IMO

Not to me but that's why they have different styles...for people with different opinions/taste.

Not to mention the 1098 headlights are kindalike ripoffs of the Triumph 675

Japanese have changed their frames & swingarms a lot more often than the Euros have
