Ready for 2011 release, I hear. Meh... I'm still lusting after the RSV4 in white....
 
RSV4 in white: *** on a stick
RSV4 in AlItalia colours: *** on an even bigger stick

is it wrang that ah jist st licked me laptops screen ?
 
Excuse me while I have some alone time with that picture. I do in fact have wet dreams about that bike. What am I going to have to do to make it road legal as it's a track only beastie.
 
There's a few dealers here in the UK that have had road RSV4s sprayed up as Biaggi reps. They look ******' awesome. They should give away a lifetime supply of tissues with each bike....
 
To bad the Canadian distributor here in Edmonton is such a.... I'd love to see something like that but the dealers here just don't have the huevos. Be fun as **** to do that. I may have to look around and see if anyone here in Edmo has the talent to do that kind of a job.
 
Just made that my screen saver. So I can enjoy more often. It replaces the shot of Biaggi that Aprilia put out when he won the WSBK crown.
 
I can't fall in love with a race rep bike. I just look at them now after my GSXR thou and think feck engine too hard to clean beneath all the fairing, my necks aching, my wrists are aching, ahhh bollox lets get a naked bike
 
I don't think I would have a sports bike as an only bike again for the reasons you mention Bay, but I would have one as a second bike if I ever had the cash. I always figure I'd stick with a 600 as I enjoy thrashing the hell out of them at 16,000rpm and litre sportsbikes bikes are just overkill for the road, but having said that, if I had the cash right now I'd have an RSV4 in the garage alongside the Tuono.
 
The thing is bikes are a hobby. I can't use mine for work as I have to carry kit around with me. Not every day I admit but I never know when I'm going to be called out of the office. If I were going to have a second bike I'd end up buying either a Superduke R or a Ducati Supermoto. On the roads there's just no way the tucked in riding position of a sports bike is beneficial over the upright riding more comfortable position of say a Tuono or KTM. Before I had the Tuono I tried to get a deal on a KTM Superduke but they just wouldn't do one so I had to have the Tuono. Saying that I think I made the right choice.

PS the only real way to Justify having a 2nd bike is that theres always one on hand if the other one breaks down but then theres the expense of running 2 bikes. Mind yuou saying that I have to own a Harley one day. Won't get rid of the Tuono though. Going to try and keep that till the end of my days.

They've done it to a few remaining RSV's and Tuono's as well. Still a few of em for sale
 
Hmm,...
'Prilla seem to be keeping their cards close to their chest on this one.I cant recall seeing any more spy shots since the Mugello test back in July.
According to this weeks MCN,(so it must be true!:rolleyes:),the bike will be unveiled at the Milan show next month.(suprise,suprise!)The bike will feature wings on the nose fairing to keep the front wheel down at high speed.:eek:
Production is planned to start in the spring,.....expect it'll be in the dealers by the summer.

There but for the grace of god. I was going for a Superduke or a Tuono and the idiots at the Duke dealer wouldn't budge a hundred bucks, so I bought the Tuono. I too think I got the better of the deal.

As far as bikes being a hobby... no fecking way. Bikes is life for me. I use mine to commute to work and for fun. I even get groceries with it if I don't have a lot. The T is my drink after work, my Paxil, Prozac, and my sanity. I ******* HATE WINTER!!
 
My stomach always turns and I die a little more each year that I see those white flakes drifting down. I need to move somewhere warm. Been to Australia and liked it. Lived in Texas, but have a hard time with the American mentality.
