Default My New Beast

Well firstly some observations

Its quick.. its prercise.. its very well built, its attention grabbing and seeking,
technically though it bogs down awfully through town, the brakes need to bed in and the front dives a bit buch for my liking. Its not as crisp as the demo as it had a few more miles on it, race cans and map 2, im hoping mine will feel that good when iv made those changes!

But all of that doesnt matter as im in love, I collected her at 9.10 am this morning and sadly have only managed 50 miles due to the awful weather that developed today. but i did ride it in the rain and it is still an confidence inspiringly bike when i cleaned her off and tucked her up i miss her, and shes mine i am so pleased

Any way pics below.




SOLD -- ALL MINE!!!







Brian telling me how it functions.... sort off..



It actually came with 0 miles on the clock eeek... no PDI test ride... anyway its all fine


my mate louis who cmae with me on his new to him gsxr 1100 k reg.. nice bike for an il4



finally off we go!







so there we have it... dead chuffed more pics to come as i venture out on her and change a few things,


hooorah! loooong time coming.

Nice bike, there is so much right with the aprilia and id like to buy one buy one thing that puts me off and its the appearance of the engine or lack off why did aprilia cover it with plastic to make it look like a washing machine!!!! Arghhh its one of the things i like about my sv1000 is that you can see the engine with nothing in the way.
