I'm Having a Crisis!

[Luckypants]

In the words of Jezza Clarkson...

The Aprillia RSV4 in white has really turned my head! Yes, in white, I HATE white bikes / cars. Went to see one in the flesh about two weeks ago and almost succumbed to put my name on one!

Trouble is:-

• I cannot afford one right now, £14K is a lot of wonga!
• I want to keep the VFR for a 'practical' bike
• I cannot afford one right now
• I've never owned a sports bike
• I cannot afford one right now
• How can I like a white bike?
• I cannot afford one right now
• I'll need new leathers
• I cannot afford one right now
• I'll need new helmet and boots
• I cannot afford one right now
• .....

You get the picture... I had just recovered from the intoxication of seeing it in the flesh and thought I was over it. Then I foolishly went on Youtube...

Oh Gooohhhddd!!! I think I've just had another crisis!

What should I do, mighty ORG? Sell my body on street corners to afford to prostrate myself at the sportsbike altar? Or man up, be sensible and forget about the little temptress?

Lovely ain't it

But it felt too much like doing a hand stand when I tried to reach the bars

This on the other hand...

I seem to recall you breating me for disliking white bikes, because you've got a white bike.

Exhibit A above

Now you're saying You hate white bikes.

I'm confused.com

You can't afford it, unless you win the Lotto

Test ride... it might be pornographic to look at, but its no good if you can't ride more than 10 miles without feeling like you've got your feet up your bum or your head in front of the clocks... its a very small bike in the flesh.

Then again maybe you shouldn't test ride it

Test ride is the answer Mike. But if you do like it after the test ride it'll take years to get the wonga if you're relying on what you get for your body

Get the new V4 Tuono instead Or thinking on it you can get last years V-twin Tuono cheap right now...a little more than £7K new I think

Or try an SMT ....in fact just go test riding everyday for 2 weeks, that'll satisfy all these urges even if you don't buy anything

On one hand I'm all for doing what you wanna do in life, only live once kinda attitude, but a sports bike is a young mans game IMO.

take it for a test ride and feel how heavy it actually is (if its anything like the old twin one)

also it will likely frighten the bajesus out of you as its 178 bhp so basically a missile with handlebars
