Here is a sweet article by Sport Rider that compares the Ducati 999 vs a Honda RC51 and finally the Aprilia RSV Mille. It's a good read for anyone who is a fan of V-twin sport bikes.

This article talks about all aspects or riding around on the street and track. +1 for Aprilia ergonomics! IMO the Aprilia mirrors are the best ever. They are slick, streamlined and work EXCELLENT for seeing behind you while you are cruising and also when you are crouched down for speed. I think they are amazing compared to some other bikes I have owned and ridden.
