hi all.

:thumbup newbie here,from chesterfield,derbyshire.
just got my 2003 grey/silver rsv mille last thursday and what a machine
like quite a few on here,i came from a long line of il4's,mostly the over rated R1.had 3 of them now,but always lusted after a v-twin.they sound awesome!
out of all the twins,the rsv was always my fave,cos its just so different and for a change,its not miniscule like those silly ducatis (and for that matter most sportsbikes these days:rant).also like alot on here,im 6'2 and a healthy muscular 20st lol,and the bike fits like a glove! went on my first proper ride out saturday to willingham woods and she never missed a beat,against my 2 mates R1'S (a 2005 and 2007 model) she showed em how to go on:jack
so nice to have a bike thats so planted and solid and you can actualy accelerate within a corner and blast out of it instead of those twitchy temperemental R1'S:doug
and talk about sound,wow,they both said they couldnt even hear their bikes over mine:biggrin what a machine,ill never bother with an il4 ever again:inlove
ive read all 25 pages in this section before signing up,got alot of info from some very clever folk and also some very good links too.
cant wait for my next blast out on her,and also in the hunt for good quality race can,like the sound of my aprilia titanium but not the looks of it,so akra/tig or arrow when a good un pops up at the right price.
sorry for the boring essay lol,heres a few pics of the old girl...

nice bike chap and welcome i only joined today as well

cheers mate,luvly colin edwards you got there my friend!

welcome from oz , nice bike but you do have to get rid of that can ,

to right mate,it looks like theres a fookn fridge on the back!!
dont want anything quiet tho,the louder the better for me!!
are the tigs the loudest,and as a rule,are they louder if they have the larger bore exit on them? ive seen some that the end spout are as wide as the actual can itself.

Welcome Big Un, nice bike try these they're supposed to be a bit of a bitch set up but they sound awsome, I'm currently saving up

that looks and sounds fantastic but i heard the mivvs are a swine to set up,is that right? i was liking this...the only bits i dont like is link pipe looks like nora battys stocking and it looks like you lose a pillion peg which wont go down well with the dragon!
probably stick with an akra but i do like the short stubby look.
