Hi all,

Browsing through the site I thought I'd register and say hi! Just bought one of the last Gen 1's, a 2004 RSV-R. Loving it at present. Pretty much standard apart from stubby levers and a Leo Vince race can. I know it's running rich so I'm currently looking into an EPROM chip. I'll put pics up in a minute :biggrin

Thanks guys. I probably paid a bit over the odds for it but as it was in such good condition i didn't really mind. My best mate bought a Tuono Fighter just before i got this and after riding that i really wanted another big twin :thumbup

So far... pillion peg on left removed, tail tidy, small number plate, mini rear indicators.

Just PM'd Dr Rossi as i hear he does chips for these so i'll see what difference that makes... surely it can only make things better, particularly with the race can on there? The can does have a removable baffle but once i'd heard it without baffle there was no way i was putting it back in :rotfl:rotfl:rotfl

I live in Ipswich and rode to Rochdale on my GSXR and back on this RSVR so had to eat, lol! 460 odd miles riding in a day was quite an achievement for me but my god my arse hurt!!!

It certainly has all the kit on it! Love the look of the black swing arm at the rear :) yep, it was on eBay up until 3/4 weeks ago in Rochdale, had to have it :)

What's this I keep reading about modified collectors then...?
