The results from the test mirror what I said earlier and the bikes actually feel that way too. At the very bottom, the Sprint is it. Above mid RPM, the Falco takes off quickly.

As far as Aprilia vs. Ducati, I really like the looks of the 900SS w/half fairing. I like the Falco better, it's WAY faster, and it's more exotic. To each his/her own.
