hi all and happy holidays...I have recently purchased a 2007 aprilia rsv1000r after totaling my 2008 gsxr 600...apparently a jack rabbit wanted the right of way at 80 mph.....so my rsv has 13k miles on it.. are there any issues I should be aware of if any at all...the original owner has all...
Hey Guy's, 1st post as a T owner, Got a new 12 APRC in Black, have ordered all the usual's, Pipe, Barends, Tail Tidy etc, will post a pic when she's out of her standard clothes :cheers
Stampy.
New Carbon-Fiber nose cone was delivered to me Friday..
Will forward some more pics when installed.
Its so light, about half the weight of the original.

Inside View, its missing a headlight post, will need to make something up with some fiberglass & resin...
right as the title says still ain't got my log book since buying bike back in November. shall I wait for a bit longer or just put on my list and buy a new one? can I tax it just with the new owner slip?
Ok so picked bike up 3 days ago and on the first night i rode around 120miles all motorway and about 10 miles into this the bike cut out for a few seconds (dash stayed on) it was like you had hit the kill switch, at this time i was fecking around trying to get to grips with all the controls and...
Having had two Mille R twins in the last ten years, Its an interesting change. Imported the Tuono V4 APRC (we no longer have an Aprilia dealer in Southern Ireland).....
Absolutely delighted with it! Very very quick and I haven't revved it past a mere 7000; it redlines at 15000! Should be...
My 2003 RSV arrived, i've gotten out for a ride and all i can say is awsome.
The only strange thing i need to get use to is the false sense your not going very fast, on my GSXR600 you got a mad rush over 9k upto redline which made you realise you were progessing quickly, whereas this thing just...
me new Danmoto titanium exhaust has just arrived, quality looks better
than I expected, only took 8 days from china and £115 delivered.

...when you nearly crash the car every 5 minutes due to the scantily clad women that come out to play. Christ yesterday was a great day for it, good job I never wrote the car off as be tricky to explain the hows & whys to her indoors :biggrin
Got these for £37 and the quality is superb, I compared them to the levers at the local triumph shop that were £139.....no difference apart from the fancy bling name

went for the plunge in trying out mbls composites carbon fibre frame protectors and im pretty impressed! would have ideally wanted some boyler carbon but as you prob know he has stopped production at the moment. mbls's stuff is a really good quality and finish and has pretty good delivery time...
Just had the kit arrive, gave it a good clean and ready to fit, but noticed 2 things here,
One is the rubber gasket, it seems very......****. So had a quick search around on other forums and it doesn't seem to be a problem, but i'm off to a local car shop in abit to see if I can source some...
So who got out on our great UK roads this weekend?
Saturday 80 odd miles of twisty Warwickshire B roads.
Sunday 140 miles of Cotswolds A and B's. I now need new tyres as the rosso's are completely knackered. i've got splits running around the center section from the Fosse way.
The fosse way...
Here we are, my 02 rsvr, looks a bit sorry for itself but it'll be sorted through the winter as project 2 & everythings there or i already have to fix her up
My new Homer Uwe airbox kit arrived yesterday and I must say it looks like a quality product. I'll fit it later and let you know how I get on.:bigsmile
What do you think? i nearly had a 'little sex wee' when i opened the box
Its been a long wait for this, with no help from uk customs who had(lost) it for two months.:jack
Going on the bike tmrw-
the bare tank, no fuel pump etc weighs about as much as a can of stella.:pirate
lovely jubley
cheers CK
