Took a ride in to Málaga this morning to my nearest Aprilia dealership. I was intending just going in and asking a question or two. When I arrived at the shop I glided outside of the window looking at what was on display. Suzuki is another make they sell and this was all I was seeing! (BTW the new Gixxer thou looks the nuts! Had a little sit on one too,very nice but not for me)
Anyways as I continued my voyeuristic peeping through the window..."Oh my god!" I thought with eyes a popping like The Mask! Quite to my surprise,(as I was under the impression they were not due in for another month) there was a gorgeous 2005 RSVR MIlle in red.(Instant stirring in the pants!) Now I don't know about you all, but the 2005 with the lions head motif on the fairing left me a little unsure.From photos I was definitely favouring the more understated 2004 plain version.
However I got to tell you in the flesh it looks FANTASTIC!
When I finally pulled myself together I went inside and chatted to the sales guy.I sat on that baby and man I got to say it feels soooooo nice.Definitely a sit in rather than sit on kind of feeling.
José has put on the table a great deal for me and I am very,very tempted! He has not seen my SV but I have assured him that it is in 100% A1 condition,(and strangely enough it is! :lol: )
The deal is €5500 for my SV and with a €600 reduction on the MIlle at the moment too!
I have to say that services every 3k km does not impress me,but I am struggling to argue myself out of it! If the kite I am expecting comes in before the end of the month,I could be taking my son to the Jerez Moto GP on a brand new Aprilia.
Please tell me I am making a mistake here?! 8) :?
