Aprilia RSV-R Damaged Repairable

I am in the process of buying one of these!! ... well it is a twin isn't it?!!?

I intend to use it as a trackbike ...

I'll upload some pics in a bit

Anyone want an SV650 trackbike*!?! ... looks like I might have my #2 up for grabs very soon!!

*It is SORN and my spare bike, I have barely used it (only tested it and giving it a few laps every time I have taken it just to 'blow the cobwebs' ... to date my #1 has run flawlessly so there has been no call for it to be used in earnest ... its just nice having a spare in the van ... Anyway, it has V5 and I have all the road stuff to put it back on the road ... so I can either make it back into a road bike and MOT it or sell it as a track bike ...

geeeez.....thats some road rash.
that will be a hella lot of fun on track i bet.

Nice bikes, but getting spares can be a nightmare. Aprilia still haven't reconciled the computerised stock ordering systems since merging with Piaggio.

The worst bit of that one is the swingarm, but I'm sure you'll find a good one on eBay, if you can't live with the dent. Flogging the good bodywork panels and headlight should cover some of the costs of getting it good again.

The way I see it, new brake leaver (and clipon as it is bent), race can and I am away!! .. but year, take the light out and anything I don't need and try and get a bit of cash back!

The swingarm is cosmetic, not structural, so I don't care ...

It does need a rude can mind

The parts thing does concern me, but I'd probably be buying 2nd hand eBay stuff anyway ...

The swingarm is only dinged, what you see there is how its molded from a fat swingarm to two smaller points where the wheel mounts. A good polish bit on a dremel and people will be non the wiser that its been scratched. Does not look all that bad realy, good the tank is clean.

Blue you really cant help yourself can you

damn you jammy thing! id love a millie/rsv-nearly had one when my (now ex mate) had his written off, he messsed me about though so it didnt happen
They are gorgeous bikes.How much did you pay if you dont mind me asking?

Nice one blue...

You sure? What with the 102db limit at most circuits now I think that original can might be rude enough
