I just got rid of a 2007.5 Aprilia RSV Factory and was not impressed with the twin anymore. I had a Honda RC-51 prior and it seemed to be the better of the two twins. The Triumph Is cool but the maintenance on both are way too much compared to the Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki and parts are a lot easier to get for the Japanese bikes. No European cars or bikes are easy or cheap to keep up. I have owned a Jaugar and a Land Rover also and they are nice until you have to have them worked on.
You need to ask yourself what is winning races if that matters to you and how much time and money you want to spend on a bike that won't even run with the new 600's? If it is status you want buy the Aprilia. The girls love the way they look and sound.
