OK, so I jumped on the RSV bandwagon without doing a great deal of research. Pretty much an impulse buy at a local dealer. :confused

Anyway, I've gradually learnt about the differences between the Factory and the R (2004) that I now own.

On the road is there a great deal of difference? I know they use the same engine. Should I spend money on my R or should a scrape a few penny's together and buy a Factory? :dunno

DC :biggrin
 
mate same BHP only difference is the goodies like ohlins etc, save the cash..
 
All depends if you want to throw a shed load of cash at the 'R' or just buy the Factory and be done with it.

I went and bought a Factory as I knew that I would only end up replacing the standard parts if I didn't. Made that mistake with my old Mille

Doubt you would really notice that much difference on the road to be honest, only that the Ohlins suspension feels excellent and the carbon looks rather tasty.
 
ohlins are a double edged sword. I know most peeps dont.but the rear shock is supposed to be serviced every year and the forks very 4k miles.and they leak oil, not nice on the discs or pads. The extra bling bling is nice tho.
