The beautiful thing that comes through in all these reviews is that these journos are in awe of the bike. They have to weigh up all the pros and cons and they have to factor in rational as well as emotional factors otherwise the Pani would win every time! We've seen this all before but the track verdict was worth a read.

Personally I stopped reading these reviews in a long time now. You really can't compare both in my opinion it's like the Ducati is an all track monster where to me the BMW is like a suped up gsxr that balances both track and street. These reviews to me mainly focus on the common rider and not the racer and for that reason Ducati has always scored badly. If you want true reviews I would stick to the more credible ones like cycle world and mcn

This local guy likes to remind me how poorly Ducati is doing in the races and and its HP numbers blah blah blah how awesome his Aprilia RSV4R is. Then we went for a ride and he was painfully slow. I honestly couldn't give a .... if people mock me for my brand of choice losing at something I can't control, but I do have a huge grin on my face when it comes time for the real men to go out and play and the big talkers are eating dust
