Well, not that one as I've not been able to get a pic of mine yet - but pretty much exactly like it.


After being all sensible and thinking I'd get another bike early next year.....temptation got the better of me! I'm a sucker for a good looker.

It was just way tooo good to pass up!! This thing is minted, and so it should be with only 900miles on the clock when i picked it up. Unbeliveably I'm the 3rd owner! It's bloomin lovely to look at, and very nice to ride of course. :D

It's good to have a rumbling v-twin again. Just needs Akra's.

Now, where's all these rideouts? :smt017

That nose is surprisingly effective too. Didn't feel much windblast until really silly speeds, by which time my arms and neck cried "enough"!!! :p

Well it appears to be some kind of badly street-fightered RSV-R. Maybe you get some cheap fairing lowers and clip-ons off ebay and put it back to stock?

Wait a minute...

Very, very nice Murdo.

I look forward to seeing it at Applecross 2010.;).

Congrats Murdo,if its like Gecco's Aprilla it doesn't like going slow and the faster you go the more planted it feels.ENJOY.

Very nice indeed - was tempted by a Tuono but I had my sensible hat on! Welcome to the 1000cc V-twin club :D

Well with Johnny on the 916 now there's enough clutch rattle round here, lol. It is a thing of beauty tho. He's a lucky boy.:D Oh, and it didnt take much giving in, i can tell you. :p


Damn, that looks like a good run, but I'd need the full wkend off+Monday. Shame that I'm working Sat and Mon then. :rolleyes: Booger, have to say pass on that, Pete.

Maybe if Stuartyboy gets the Aviemore run on the go (sometime this year!), I could get to that for sure.

Took the bike to work today, was a nice morning. And now it's raining! Man, do i feel GUILTY! Havent felt sorry taking the SV out in the rain ever, so I guess this must be related to the ownership of Itailan scoots. Next thing I know, I'll have shares in Auto Glym or something. :cool:

Always loved these. Good choice.

Best colours too.

Lots of trick bits to divert your eyes from looking at the tupperware engine!?!

I would never tire of getting that swinger and frame shiney. Gorgeous.

New collar size in a few weeks I bet. Unless your head falls off.;):D The joys of getting nekkid.:smt045
