Hint - It's parked next to the RSV4 and has "Aprilia" written on the side.

I think it looks pretty fowl, theres something just not quite right and the exhausts on new bikes are shocking :smt078......and judgin on the pics above I guess pillions are not an option :cool:

[mattSV]

It really does look a lot better in the flesh. The oound of the exhaust (almost) made up for the ****ty look of it, and apparantly you can get a pillion pad!

[zsv650]

i think it look's real ace myself though the can would be gone if i had one.

is that little black lump a pillion seat well i'll be damned haha not a very sociable bike is it excellent.:cool:

[yorkie_chris]

Looks $hit and I don't see the fuss about the sound.

I see you post that a fair bit....out of interest what bikes do you see the fuss about?

Not a dig or anything, just genuinely interested.

[Rich]

Love it, want one!!! :-(

compared to the rest it's the only different bike out there bar the duke got to credit aprillia for that they could have just done another generic il4 :D

Not many TBH.

I've got a old GSXR here that will be getting modern running gear, some people get totally hooked on them and end up quite predictably with a 1216cc big bore and lots of carbon "stuff". Nice, but only reason I've got mine is because it will be a bit of a challenge to build. Oh and it was only £50...

Yes this prilla is a proper superbike in the new sense of the word, but I couldn't have one myself, I doubt I'll ever be good enough to use enough of a portion of that performance on the road, so it would just be posing.

I did like the 675s, had a go on one when they first came out and they're a great engine. Kick any 600 I've tried into the weeds with the throttle torque and responsiveness. Too nice for me to destroy with use I think, but I definitely see the fuss there. (They sound a sight better than this RSV thing anyway)

So yeah what was I rambling about? Oh yeah, I don't see many bikes as properly droolworthy especially not the ones that everyone else is drooling over. So that does beg the question, what do I want? Answers on a postcard please.

a big ****off triple :thumleft:

[yorkie_chris]

That is the winner so far, not a 1050 though, they look a bit gay with all the bling. Or the aforementioned snorting great oil cooled 1216cc. Or a CR500 with 17" wheels.
FFS there's too much choice...

[zsv650]

i like the sprint 1050 myself no feckin daytona though anyway back on topic the rsv4 look's a winner for aprillia might get them some race win's too hopefully.

[sinbad]

I like the looks of that Aprilia. Side profile really nice, tank and tail really nice, nose fairing so-so, exhaust typically stupid.

Tail tidy, a proper 'zorst and ditch the pillion pegs and it's a whole lot better.

[southy1978]

Off to my local dealer tomorrow to test ride one! I love the way it looks and it sounds good too. :)

I must admit, I want to have a go on my old mans GPX6 when he's finished fiddling with it - among other things that went into it was the GSXR shock I was going to use on my SV before I swapped it. Its definitely on the path less trodden.
