Blue..Nothing wrong with your model at all,great bikes. Just a personal thing,I hated that mammoth sized zorst they had. But naturally the later model is much more "sorted".

Sure , nothing 'wrong' with the 00, lets face it as a bike the 00 RSV-R is pretty good - ohlins suspenders as standard (USD front) and bling OZ wheels as standard too. Sure the later ones presumably are a bit better still in every way, but I doubt is is a quantum leap, so the 00 is hardly a carp bike!!!!

But I do love the lines of the later ones, the early ones like mine never gave me a stork-on to look at, but the later ones do Also the earlier ones like mine look a little dated now, a bit like the pointy and curvy SV, I prefer the pointy to look at, but I can't see there is enough in the bike itself to justify the price difference to buy 2nd hand

Oh and yes, the RSV stock can is hideous ... easy enough to replace though!!

Danf let us know how the pillion seats on it mate?

considering one as well but the question is can you do long trips on it or are your knees next to your armpits?
