Coworker got a Streetfighter. I rode it up Highway 35, then we switched. Fun bike but I prefer mine.

Sweet...I have been wanting to testride one of those (ducs) Looks like your aprilla would offer a little more wind protection.
I had a Buell XB12s before I bought my 1098. That was also a really fun bike (at lower speeds) Once you got it above 80-90mph...it felt like you were going to get sucked off the back of the bike. I was wondering if the Duc Streetfighter felt the same way?

 

[Unreal]

Yes. The owner said he avoids going over 80mph because it sucks. Overall I liked my bike more for 1/2 the price. Both of us couldn't feel a difference in the motor. Duc had better brakes. Aprilia handled better, more comfy, better wind protection. If you were going to track it a bunch then the SF maybe better but for off the track I would take the ape.

The headlight assembly on the Duc just bothers me, the bikini fairing is awesome though.

 

[DxHatchback]

Streetfighter looks BA. :boink

 

[SlayingElliott]

These are not the twins I expected.

I still prefer the previous gen Tuono to the current, but the Duc is just fugly, imho. I hear it's an absolute beast, though. Nice to see a Ventura system, though, I loved the one I had on my Speed Triple.

Besides the brakes the SF didn't "perform" better then the Tuono. My bike has Leo Vince Slipons, Mapped, and geared up down 1 tooth in the front. The SF has Termi slipons and ECU. SF only had 750 miles on it so maybe after a few more it will feel better.

Nice bikes.

Hows that tailbag? Is that what you use for day trips? It looks huge, honky, and rather tall (something I personally wouldnt like). It looks like it would be great for long trips though.

 

[Unreal]

Yah I use it for any ride that I go over 100 miles or so. I don't even notice it is there. I can always swap it around and ride with a passenger. Last week my girl and I did 300 miles. Packed a lunch, snacks, and emergency stuff. Tirepatch kit, water, etc. Plus it is nice to have a place to throw a soda or something when I stop, and to haul a roll of papertowels and cleaner. Yes it doesn't look the coolest, but I can't see it when riding so who cares. Plus it was fun last weekend going on a group ride, being faster then all the SS style bikes with a passenger and luggage.

Sweet looking bikes. I think I'd take the Tuono as well due to the wind protection. How is the tailbag mounted to the tail like that, and what bag is it?

I was expecting 4 nice boobies, but these two beauties are nice!

i vote ban unless producing nwsf pics of italian twins ladies

 

[Tripped1]

I was amazed how small the Streetfighter felt sitting on it.

Oddly, the dealer wouldn't let me demo a base Street Fighter, but all but threw the keys to a 1098S at me.

Werd. I was expecting something more... perky. :boink

 

[boner]

Yes. The owner said he avoids going over 80mph because it sucks....

tell the owner he is a pussy, for me.

actually, sitting on the SF and the new monster they feel a bit more upright than mine, so i guess the wind could be an issue... for pussies.

maybe i need to spend some time on a faired bike to understand.

That was my feeling as well. I've been on tounos and they much the same as my Falco size wise just different bars. But that SF seemed tiny.

 

[LovemyKawiZX6R]

i think id take the aprilia. looks a lot more comfortable and it is pretty sick looking. both bikes are sick though and that looks like a nice road.

Avoid running over 80? Tell him to harden the fuck up.
