Exactly. Though look at the difference between the list price of a Falco and what they were actually selling for.

Falo's were a bit of a strange one though. Great piece of kit, really comfortable and loads of grunt, but it just didn't take off in this country. You don't see many RSV's going at 60% of the original RRP.... Electrics have been the Achiles heel of Aprilia. Aparantly it's "all sorted" now; only time will tell.

The Tuono's a bit big for me, so the 750 would be the best option. Plus I think 750 would be more then enough power...

I would be very interested if they were to put the 750 lump in a baby-RSV mmmmmmmm

I love those Tuonos - If the smaller bikes went ahead with that kind of setup at the front, id be buying one.

Ive had a nekkid before and i just didnt like the fact my arms and head were being ripped off at 70mph+

The Shivers I think will be a popular bike. Read in MCN that the chassis may be used for other models or variations. Plust they are talking about the engine forming the basis for increasing up to 1200 cc for newer models to come. Take it with a pinch of salt but if this is the case it will make the bike ripe for modding and being a medium sized v-twin will win a few hearts. They have been working on some exciting projects and I think have released a few exciting models over the last weeks. There is a factory Pegaso that I like as well - cant find a pic online as yet. And the V4 engine - 220hp to go on their 2008 production SB.

I've been looking at this more and I've realised it a million times better looking er6...

Shame about the rear and the nakedness

Yeah, my mate has an 2006 RSV which I was lucky enough to borrow for four laps around our local circuit. The ride quality is on another league from the SV. Plush and firm at the same time. Ohlins front-rear... :roll: As far as the motor goes, I admit I didn't dare to crack it full open...

Rears not to bad from some angels... but the nakedness is the best bit!
