Garage
I'm going to stick to my word and thus won't advise you either way.

I have since sold my Aprilia - found the twin engine was not my cup 'o tea. Vibes through the bars made my throttle hand go numb and it was a difficult motor to live with in the twisties though as someone advised I'm sure a slipper clutch would have helped alot.

I have not replaced the bike - yet. I'm on the fence. I ended the Aprilia ownership with a couple epic rides. I came home thinking - it just can't get better than that. The bike sat in the garage for 2 weeks before I decided to sell. If/when I get back into bikes it will be for an entirely different "experience". Something comfortable that does not beg to be riden 110% in the back country roads. If I were to buy today I think I'd have another go with a Speed Triple, a used '06 or '07 model. In black.
