Well thanks to all for the suggestion to test ride one. Any one of anywhere doing test rides for the RSV4? [-o< No chance locally...

It most likely will frighten the bejesus out of me, but unfortunately that is part of the attraction! I've never hankered for a sports bike before this (except for the RVFs of course, but that's a given, right?).

It's all tongue in cheek until I win the lottery anyways...

Have listened to a few on Youtube and have to say on it sounds a lot like the VFR, just MORRRREEEE :D (well my VFR with Staintunes). V4s rock, this I hold to be FACT! :cool:

Someone has offered me a black one as trade for the hyper, it's got a full akrapovic on and looks bad ass. It's a lot of money extra (£2500 on top of the hyper) though and my heart is set on a blade.

Damn sexy though, it's the first trade offer I've actually considered so far.

Friends dad traded in his blade for an rsv4 factory. He said the blade was just too easy to ride and not as involving as the rsv4. Test ride one.

Lack of pillion capability rules it out as well to be honest. It's probably to focused like the hyper as well, I need smooth IL4ness back.

Your only allowed to get it if you get Max Biaggi leathers. Its a sweet little thing, Jim Allan in Falkirk has/had one sitting at the front door.

Only just seen this, oh miiiiiiiike ;) http://www.prestonsuperbike.co.uk/bi...php?bikeID=303

And I know they offer test rides, cause they offered me 1 12 months ago, with a 3yr 2% finance deal. My dad dragged me out of there before I did something I wouldnt have regretted :rolleyes:
