OMG !!!!!.......... Just taken delivery of my 2006 RSV Factory & been on my first ride ......... Gotta say WHAT A MACHINE !!!!!!!!
I traded in my '57 reg R1 as it was just too manic on the road & must admit was apprehensive about the RSV but even though it was only a very short ride it blew me away ..........SO much nicer to ride than my R1 as I could just let the torque do the work , no more dancing up & down the gearbox !....... Everything felt so much nicer too brakes /suspension etc I could really feel what it was doing & it gave me loads of confidence , gearbox is easily a match for the R1 if not better , it's just up to me to ride it more to get totally comfortable with the new riding position etc
I can honestly say I should have done this YEARS ago ......... I'm a convert :inlove
