You can find a used 3-years-old Aprilia Mille or Tuono for next to nothing.

A Tuono wouldn't be too bad, but the Mille I rode would be a miserable daily street ride.

Eh, seriously, I'd rather have something we can (for the most part) manage to work on at home. (there's absolutely a lust factor there with the exotic bikes, but not too terribly practical, in terms of parts pricing, etc....)

Truely!! Big brother has to take his bike to tallahassee to get serviced...kinda silly but just part of owning an itialian in a small area with no dealers whereas all the rest of the stable can go locally to any of the area shops or a friends garage!
