Hi People, basically I've got my heart set on buying an RSV in novemeber. Bloody gorgeous bikes and I've wanted one for ages. Not looking at a factory or an R version just a standard Mille due to insurance premiums.
Firstly is there any difference between the years? Looking at 99-03' bikes with a budget in the region of £3000 just want to know if theres a certain model/year that has improvements or whatever. Is there anything I need to look out for when buying one? I know the standard can mullers the swingarm in a spill but anything else apart from that?
Do they have any common problems or issues? I ride everyday to work and back which is only a 3 mile journey so not exactly a galactic distance just wondering how the bike will cope with use everyday, all the roads are nice and flowing not stuck in traffic or anything. Never ridden a Vtwin before but heard they can be difficult to ride at low speeds.
Also is there like kind of website which shows the different models and paintjobs etc that would be great.
Just a pain having to wait until november to buy one
.
Cheers for any help guys! Pongle
