Hi Aprilia lovers. I'm Colin, known as Wingman by my touring buddies hence the name. All my life I've been a Ducati fan and recently sold (with deep regret) my rare Carl Fogarty Replica as it began to hurt me after a few hours in the saddle (I'm getting on a bit!).
An opportunity came along to buy a Yellow RSV R, 2002 model with less than 5k miles on the clock. This is my first ever Aprilia and I'm hoping I made the right choice as I've never ridden one - so before I pick her up on Friday I thought it best to join everyone here as I'm sure I'm gonna need lots of help and advice. Also it would be good to meet some of you some time.

In the meantime, I'll be learning where everything is on this site.
 
Welcome mate - you'll love it. My mate's got a 996 and I prefer mine - handles better.
 
Welcome Wingman, read up all you can on the RSVR's as there's a few things that need to be done. Optimate at all times, batttery condition, starter solenoid, change gearing to name a few. Do a seach on all of these as there's a wealth of knowledge on here
