    New Aprilla

    The new RSV4 is an awesome bike. I have it on good authority it can beat the Tuono hands down in the twisties. One question I have is that according to the specs it requires 95 octane. I think octane calculations are different in Europe than North America. Would 95 octane in Europe be the same as 91 octane on this side of the pond?

    I'm a loyal Ducati owner, but this is certainly intriguing to me...are you much of an Aprilla aficionado?
