Well after a couple of months of searching for an RSV-R and selling my Ducati Monster S4R, I now have one.
I found a 2005 in Silver with 6k on the clock and a lovely set of Akra cans - I pick her up next weekend.
The first thing I want to do is get the Optimate hooked up :). I'm worried...
An '05 RSVR - after waiting an extra 2 weeks (bread van ran into me 35yards from the dealer - broke the wife's ankle (she was on the back) & snapped the handlebar...gutted or what...). She's finally mine & sat in the garage, plugged into the optimate (the bike, not the wife...). It still needs...
Went for one of these in the end. New out made by Pipewerx just with a different end cap (therefore no 'X' Bay!).
They had a good review in Ride mag, and thought I would be a bit different.
So no longer will I be the only T with a standard bazooka :thumbup
Will post pics when I receive...
Was a bit more difficult than I thought to get it mounted using standard rear-sets but I got there in the end! :biggrin.
Drilled and tapped a hole in the gear lever (drill bits and tap provided with the kit)... why the hole all along it Aprilia? Was a pain in the arse and the reason I had to...
After many years I have one. really wanted a black and red one, but they are pretty thin on the ground in OZ. This one has been very well looked after, was owned by a very fussy bloke, has a few extras too, ohlins damper akras and some genuine aprilia carbon bit from the factory version, all...
At last, a cold but dry & sunny day. Bike needed tax so met the old man & took a 100 mile detour. By far the best bike I have ever ridden, I now know why every T owner I've met in the past had a huge smug smile. I can now join that elite crew.
Point it where you want to go & it does, crack...
after a long wait my new ohlins steering damper finally arrived on friday. Put it on on saturday and went for a blast. WOW, what a difference. I was pleasently suprised at how much more stable the bike is in the twisties, especially on fast directional changes. Running on 8 clicks in ( 20 in all...

Well picked up my Rsvr today and im well chuffed with it. Its a 2001 with acropovic can, power commander and all the standard goodies. She has done 17000 miles and is in great condition. Really differant to ride than my firestorm so much more focused and so much faster. Not really had chance to...
My bike's been out of action for a while, while i've been busy with this.
It used to be almost all red but I've never quite liked it that much, mixed up a new, brighter less serious red and I settled for this. I think it looks good!!!:thumbup
while putting everything back together, i checked...
After a week of solid rain, I finally got out on my new acquisition last night. And it appears I have some work to do.
First off, the high beam doesn't work, hit the button and I was plunged into darkness:eek:. Nor does the speedo light. And it's hard to find neutral with a hot engine, isn't...
After a few hassles along the way, I picked up the new Factory this evening.
It is now sat in the garage next to Liz's 07 R model, looking very shiney & new.
For those that read my RANT thread, the shop owner rang me this morning and apologised for the cock ups. They fitted a full set of...
