Talking If Aprilia or Ducati made cars....

.....It would be a Scooby!


I had the pleasure of driving my 04 STI and a 04 MR300 back to back down some demanding roads (thanks Carl!) at the weekend,
the only way to descibe the difference is that of an Italian Vee Twin bike v a Jap 4, the 4 is traditionaly smoother in power delivery and more frantic at higher revs and ultimately a bit faster, however the Vee Twin has far more character and more satisfing to drive - the 4's tend to be a bit easer to ride whilst the twins a bit more lumpy around town. The jap 4's are suitable for every day commuting the Twins a bit more of a weekend special event.

Anyway sort of sums up how I felt about the two cars - both go well and have different ways of doing it - all about personal taste. which is why I always have had Ducs and Aprilia's (and now a STI).

MR300 has smoother suspension and better handling - its so easy to drive fast or slow - its almost too easy??

They'd break down all the fecking time and spill their guts everytime you tried to do a 3rd gear Minga

Sorry m8 - but scooby's and Evo's are soulless - wrong to compare with Ducatis.....
