I've been thinking about a having a refresh on the bike front and I think I've kind of narrowed it down to a couple of second-hand options..
  1/ a 996BP 
 2/ Aprilia Tuono 1000 
 disparate or what!!! 
 The 996 would be really great - but it would look like something lodged in my crack. 
 The Aprilia is...well...an Aprilia.... 
 I can't afford a 749/999's or an S4R as I want something a bit more pokey and a change so the ST4s is out and a 748 has the same appeal as far as rectal furniture is concerned as the 996. 
 So it looks like I may be switching to the dark side and going for the other side of Italy. 
 or is a numptystrada pokey enough?
