Wow! How good does this RSV look!?

I quite like that, comparing the two, i perfer that one, but all i keep thinking is Ducati 1098 / 1198

Looks good but I don't like the mismatched wheels lol!

Looks like a bit of exhaust jiggery-pokery as they had to go back into 1 pipe and then split out again at the end- I assume it took a bit of investigation/design to make sure it didn't disturb the flow too much?

Sweeeeeeet!!!!

I think it's the red wheels and the rim tape
As much as I like them, I've got mixed feeling about this one

Yea, he really should have got a brembo 5 spoke wheel for the front so they arnt so miss matched, weight wouldnt be that different as it was only the factory that got lightweight wheels, the standard just gets heavy imitation wheels

The exhaust if you look at the thread I linked looks like its a 2-2 system all the way through with no link pipe at all, which is odd... But it all fits in very well!

Lol maybe the wheels are his next mod then

Are you sure about the exhaust? I *was* looking at your linked thread lol, take a look at these pics:

Rear cylinder downpipe - heading down towards the bottom of the bike:


2 pipes - one of which is the rear downpipe - but it stops just under the engine:


Looks like the rear downpipe joins into the other pipe, which then feeds back up to the cans (and splits in 2 there):

Extra extra read all about it; 'prilla owner wishes he'd bought a duc!

I cant see the pics here at work but I think your right thinking about it. ha ha. 2-1-2 shouldnt be a major issue tbh, the Ducati's do it...

Come on aprilia ,1200 single swinger rsv i'd buy one!
thanks, von dutch i like the colour scheme as well, not bad for a back garden spraybay. p.s. i hate the british weather.

Love that bike!

red wheels are a bit much for me but otherwise pretty sweet
