Italian, Japanese, or American?

My friends and I have been having an argument on motorcycles

They both say Japanese and I say Italian.

What do you think?

I am wanting to pick up an aprilia rsv4r

They say I should get one like theirs

One of them has a newer honda nighthawk,

and the other has a Yamaha

what would you do, and why? Obviosly the Jap bikes are cheaper, but if your going for that style why not grab a harley?

the one you want is a different style than the one they are telling you to go.

Speed bikes are where its at. I think the dirty biker look is played out. Plus, you can't beat those Italian lines, that is if you can afford them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif

yeah I Don't really want one like theirs they just tell me to get the same kind as they have, so I guess it would be a cbr1100 or a Yamaha r1?

The aprilia I'm looking at has 5 miles and is 13k

Italian all the way. My friends want me to get a Harley, but the Aprilia has been one of my favorites for a very long time.

I can't get over how much better the RSV4R sounds over normal sport bikes. I'd love a Ducati but I just can't spend 20-25k on a motorcycle

The 848 comes in at like 13k at dealers.

I'm looking for a 1 liter bike so I'd need a 1198 I'm a very small of a guy, Might have to search see if I can find a used one that comes in at budget though.

The R1 is also a VERY gorgeous bike...

biggest problem with I have with jap bikes is resale is garbage

Well you buy one and in a couple years I'll come up and take it off your hands for half price. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

R1 is over played over here. Everyone has an R1 or a Ninja. There is a guy who has a Hyabusa and another who has a Ducati.

I guess that's why I'm in love. Almost EVERYONE has a gixxer over here and frankly I'm seriously tired of them.
