Aprillia RSV4 - SV650.org

One of these just arrived at my local dealers today. I have seen the pics and read the reviews, but oh my god does this bike look absolutely stunning in the flesh. I probably wouldn't have thought of one of these when buying a 1L bike and to be honest, I probably still wouldn't given the $43000 price tag attached to the front!

Look forward to some second-hand to hit the market though.

One thing - the exhaust is as fugly in the flesh as it is in the pics, but if I was going to fork out 43 big-ones for a bike, I could probably afford the Akra to go with it!

Seriously - go and have a look at one of these as they are truly stunning!

Aye Ive seen one at Catalunya and they are Pretty, I thought in the pics it looked pretty poor tbh. Still not as nice as the original RSV...

I wouldnt worry too much about the Factory, the the RSV4 standard will be pretty much as good and a damn sight cheaper!

Saw one of these at Canary Wharf as they had a display outside the tube! It's a tiny pic, wasn't allowed to sit on it but looks no bigger than my 750, maybe smaller. Which obviously is the same size as the 600.
I would consider one but the price is high, maybe a bit of haggling or a 2nd hand one

there's nothing like the smell of a new bike though

I think it was about £14k when I saw it at Canary Wharf.

They are doing test rides at the local dealer and I know one of the employees very wel, just sent her a message saying I would marry her and make her my princess and write her into my will and give her half my house if she could get my name on the list for a ride, and a go on the bike
