| Hi Justin
Which do I prefer? Hmm! A loaded question here I think!
If I'm being honest I'd have to say that the RC is the 'superior' bike in terms of performance across the board. It feels both lighter/faster than the Ducatis, and it handles better than any bike I've ever ridden.
Having owned only 888s for the last five or six years, it's come as something of an eye-opener I'll admit. I really didn't expect an 18yr-old bike to be so capable. It really does 'go-like-stink'!
Direct comparison with my SP4 may be a little unfair, however, since its suspension (at both ends) is leaking and overdue a rebuild. I'll know better next summer how they really compare, since the SP is to be fully rebuilt/refurbished over the winter.
Those are the facts, and they are purely objective. The question 'Which do I prefer' is more subjective though, and that's a question I'd find more difficult to answer. I'd hate to have to make the choice!
Steve
ps. When the SP is fully sorted, I'll do a back-to-back riding report. |
