Awesome plain and simple. Again I am not a race replica guy and don't care for fairings , this machine is a work of art top to bottom end of story, I must give the bike it's due.

Awesome. Considering it undercuts the HP4's price and is so close in specs that it's only noticed by the best of the best racers...

The electronics are awesome, wheelie control, launch control, ABS, traction control... Plus the fact that it can all be turned off, it's just plain and simple awesome.

This thing has more tech features and gadgets than the space shuttle. They sure have come a long way from their moped days. I voted "cool".

I couldn't have said it better myself. Yes and with the Aprilia brand name (who also owns Moto Guzzi.. hehe), it's awesome +. But comfort, that would be a distance uncool for anything other than a hour or less ride (for me anyways).

I love V-4s engines and I love the looks, so I have to vote Awesome.

The bike looks like an ugly mishmash of designs they stole off various bikes from Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Honda.

Funny you should mention that as when I read what you wrote it made me think, I wonder if we will look back and say "This is what a new millennium UJM looks like" vs the 80's UJM we all know today...

That look is a very successful design, thus it's very popular for sure. Although, there is more attention to the finer details (fit and finish) in an Aprilia than the others, and sometimes, that's the big difference.

Coming from the guy that owns a duckface???

It's not the latest and greatest (compared with the Panigale and HP4 at least), but it's still an awesome engine in an awesome bike. I'm glad they're using that engine in other models like the Tuono and Caponord.
