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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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