Pros and Cons in comparison

Aprilia RSV4 R APRC ABS 2011

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Ducati 959 Panigale 2016

The Ducati 959 Panigale is a fun bike to ride. It is much easier to ride than the big 1299 but also noticeably better than its predecessor, the 899. It looks radical and sexy, but rides simply and unspectacularly.

Stable handling

easy to use

high quality shift assist

great engine response

good traction control

easy to use electronics package.

Engine too unspectacular for experienced pilots

exhaust solution not sexy enough for spoiled Ducatisti
