It is believe me!

I have spent the last 2 months stripping the bike and rebuiding it as the last owner rode it through winter with very little protection. All fittingds, stickers, nuts etc were replaced.

Finishing touch was the 2 titanium Akrapovic cans.

I've tried a TLR and it did nothing for me. Tried an RSVR and loved it. So much so I'm hoping to get one next year.

That an '04 model dan?

I was amazed how cheap the insurance was. I got £90 off for fitting a META CAT 1 alarm.

It's pretty thirsty on petrol, but so are all 1 litre bikes.

Service costs. WOW they are a different ball game. And like anything Italian they look beautiful, but are prone to go wrong. Fingers crossed nothing has yet :cheers:

there fairly bullet proof from what iv heard, although if they go wrong its more like its all gone wrong with con rods bending and everything.... no real reason either.. just ... vroooooom.... bang.....

Im considering the Tuono for next year.... fingers crossed eh!

Simply gorgeous. How's your wheelie repertoire coming on?:D

Many would consider it high praise from me that I would have the RSV above the 999 or even the 1098.:cool:
