No where near 4k, none of them are. If you've got 4k buy a Gen2.

Like the man says....
It's probably the most sorted and well specced tuoldo you'll find. Assuming it's still in the same state I reckon it's the best Gen1 you'll find. Better than a standard factory
Contact batfastard for details. PS I know these guys have had it for a while so, if you're interested, try your luck with a cheeky offer

Yes it's expensive for an R model, but it's pretty much Factory spec', with a better engine.
Rusty test rode it before he got his Gen 2 (remember that fookin pheasant?)
Price wise - take your uncle Nob's advice and go in cheeky, this time of year it's got to be worth a punt.
FWIW it's selling for pretty much the price I was given trade in this time last year.
TBH, if Mrs Fastard would have allowed it I would have kept it as well.

Thanks Nob. I bought a Gen 1 racing with 9k on the clocks for 5k. Well did a straight swop for a BMW R1200S.
Mind you mine does have all the trick bits and I'm happy with it. As for the 1st bike in this thread its a gen one and not a racing or factory one just looks like it. U can tell from the brakes. I think they must have done summat with the exhausts cos the Gen 1's are single pipe only which I prefer as its weight saving and half the cost to buy an after market one.

No, only the Falco had twin pipes at the start.

Long sigh.
Yes mate - read the post above, it's an 05 R model, modded & upgraded over the years I had it. Doesn't have radial brakes, but if you ride bikes back to back with the same brakes radial and non-radial you will discover that radial brakes are snatchy and are no more powerful.
The exhausts are the Aprilia/Akrapovic 2+2 Titanium Evo system, stainless steel headers, Ti links and cans. Repacked by yours truly in 08.
Please note the 2+2 system is about 3 kilos lighter than the 2-1 system with an Akra can, the whole system only weighs about the same as the stock can. The improvement in engine performance with a 2+2 exhaust is about the same as fitting the 1060 big bore kit, why do you think Aprilia fitted 2+2 systems to their later models.
