Hey all,
I'm considering buying an '02 RSV R. It has 22,000 miles and has some sun weathering, but for $4000 OTD, it's hard to resist. The reason I'm in the market for a new bike is that my '07 600RR got stolen.
I've been doing a lot of reading recently, but I wanted to get some opinions from you guys before jumping the gun.
1. What kind of problems can I expect, given the mileage? I'll definitely be changing all the fluids, and I know I should expect the fork seals to leak.
2. Is $4000 a good deal, or is it just me?
3. How is the reliability and ease of maintenance? I've been getting the impression that it's better than Duc's but not quite as good as the Japanese bikes.
4. What else should I know before I decide whether or not to buy the Aprilia?
Thanks for the help.
