07 RSVR compared to my 2001 R1 for reliability.

Lets get this out the way first, but I do love my RSVR but wondering long term if it will survive.

When I got the RSVR mid December 2013 it had 7395 miles on the clock and was in mint condition. In the last 4 years the previous owner had done 1700 miles on it and had a full Aprilia dealer service history.
Since then I have put 1000 miles on it and have encountered the problems listed below already.

1 - Battery died after 3 weeks, even though kept nicely charged up.
2 - Common problem twice the shop I got it from have tried getting the rear break right, now this week it stopped working at all. How can a manufacturer be happy with a product that is not fit for purpose.
3 - right hand Ohlins fork seal now leaking so waiting for that to be fixed.
4 - Every so often stalls at traffic lights for no reason, starts no problem but not the point.

Now my 2001 R1 purchased with 22k on the clock and had 57k when sold and apart from changing the usual stuff like tyres and chain and sprockets in all that time it had the Rectifier fail and that was it.
Now which looks like the better purchase, sad but true.

Hi All,

Thanks for the replies I will get the throttle bodies checked.
Now I know batteries are a service item, but when you look at this forum and the repeated problems that owners have that are just described as a RSVR quirk.

Take the back break for example it was fine when I got the bike, not much strength but ok. Now it lost its power during a ride and now not working at all, imagine you had been happily breaking with it then it not work 5 mins later in a emergency situation. This is not a quirk but a genuine safety failure how did it get type approval.

We also have not even touched on the rear suspension linkages, I am having all the parts replaced on mine in 1 weeks time just to be on the safe side.

Don't get me wrong I like the bike and pleased I bought the ohlins model, but still think it just has the feel of a very expensive parts bin special. Some things on it are a work of art, then you look at the back brake set up and it's just junk.
Love the torque of the engine and had it almost flat out so know it's plenty quick enough, but not as brutal fast as the R1.
