Its time to say goodbye to the 06 Rsv1000R.
Three years of fantastic riding when she is running okay. We have had our problems, electrical stator, rectifier, clutch slave, rear brake, crack Ohlins fork base due to idiots over tightening the clamp bolts in the past. But when she was running, she was great.
This last few months has been a decision of do I get the RSV4 which was my dream bike at the time, but from reading forums, this has its problems! Then it was the KTM RC8R. I have settled for my other fantasy bike, an MV Brutale 800. I should get her next week once prepared. New race exhaust on order.
The thing is tiny and will now suit me for comfort being a more upright position.
Thanks again to all previous help and comments for advice.
I may be back one day, lets see how MV fair!
