So I've found a 2004 RSVR in my area with about 7k miles on, prestine condition, derestricted and leo slips, 15t front also, and not only is it one of my dream bikes, but also finally within my price range.
First of all, I'm not new to sport bikes, and I've been riding for about 5 years
previous bikes (in order):
1980 Honda cx500
2003 zx6r
2001 Ducati 748
1998 Ducati 916
2000 GSXR 750...140whp :thumbup but still a soulless jap bike...never again
I'm currently bikeless and fed up with the constant maintenance of Ducatis, but must buy Italian.
My main concerns are reliablility...I heard from one guy online that the welds near the clutch casing broke and were leaking oil (not from being dropped)..was this a recall?
I know the power will be good, the handling will be great, and the styling is sexy as it gets, but I just want to be reassured I'm making the right decision and won't be getting any unexpected surprises. What should I be looking for?
Thanks! And hello to all, I'm new to these forums.
