Well... so far I have seen a lot of 'this is a crap comparison,' what I havn't seen is a lot of backup for the Dorsoduro..? I already know the SD is a tested and proven bike. I guess its just too soon to really have a real inside on the Ape.
All the bikes mentioned in this thread I would love to own, but I have come to the conclusion that I want either a SD or the Dorso. I dont want a shiver, I dont want a Tuonu, I don't want a Hyper, or a 950SM. Again all good bikes though!
Thanks for all the opinions, its all good info and appreciated. I think I just need to win the LOTTO!

... That would solve all my problems.
