"Full-on race replica too much for the road? Inline fours leaving you cold? Suzuki's new SV1000S and Ducati's 1000DS, up against Honda's FireStorm and Aprilia's Falco offer something different for the weekend..."
| Suzuki SV1000S
p1 p2
"Easy to ride, sweet-handling and grunty enough" "There's ample grunt at any revs. It makes the SV a doddle to ride fast" |
Honda
Firestorm p1
p2 "It's well put together and capable" "The motor feels best in midrange, a lovely smooth ramp of drive"
|
Ducati 1000 DS p1
p2 p3 "It's sexy -girls look at you on the DS" "This is the one you could do most with around a track. And it just looks and sounds so cool" |
Aprilia Falco p1
p2 p3 "Sports-tourer, they say, but don't beleive a word. Sportiest stock suspension and RSV stomp means big grins" "...stamp down the gears and casually step the rear out by a foot or two, backing it in..." |
