RSV4 1000 RR

9500 sounds quite good for the Speedy I'd have thought. I bet you could probably get a brand new one for £11-12k at the moment.

 

Yeah KTM offered £9200, pushed them to £9300 and they still wanted over £15k for the Duke.

Deal done on the RSV, should get it next week all being well. Tried to get free delivery and Datatag. Got 50% off the tag in the end.

 

Congrats dude. Post pics of your bike when you have them

 

This is the scheme, last one they had.

Grigio Rivazza?? Obviously. The other scheme was matte black and sounded like a pasta dish - Nero Arrabbiata.

 

Okay that does look ace..

Am a wee bit envious.. but the weather not letting me ride anyway

 

Beautiful bike there....hope she gives you plenty of miles & smiles.

 

Just slightly worried about the seat height now being a short arse. I may be borrowing Tom Cruise's boots.

 

It can be done.....

 

Fair play.

 

Okay.. I get that your neighbours will hate you. But just listen to this (official Austin Racing video):

If you're falling for the Aprilia, take a look at 'On yer bike' in Aylesbury. When I was looking they had some cracking deals.

 

Already signed on the dotted line. Should be here next week.

They've got a good deal on a Factory but Wheels have them beaten on the RR by £2k.

 

Bloody love my '17 Ape.

 

Nice.

That an 06 Blade? Liked that scheme, I had the silver.

 

Yeah '06 Blade, fantastic bike, I always have preferred the look of the underseat exhaust models.

 

I did consider picking one up as a 2nd bike last year.

 

Awesome! I've just come from a factory 2004 RSV, awesome bit of kit, it just ran out of puff at the top end.

I was torn between my Blade SP, Panigale1299S (I didn't have the kohoonas to drop 14k on a bike that will depreciate as soon as the V4 becomes affordable) and a 2018 RSV4 RF I would of had to lend a bit to get it. The SP I could just 'buy' so it won the battle.

For sure I'll have an Aprilia again! Wicked bikes with buckets of character.

Enjoy it pal. "The Aprilia factory" on Face book is a great group.

 

I grew up on Ape 2 strokes, had a Mille for a while, spent a fortune on it and bought another Blade. I know Griff and the boys at Aprilia Performance, they're just down the road. So they used to get plenty of hassle from me.

 

She’s a beaut DF, best colour scheme imo, wheels is one of my locals, always seems to be the hondas are grossly overpriced when compared to the kwacka, Suzuki, and Aprilias they supply new.
Lucky guy, fingers crossed lockdown and the weather lifts soon so you can enjoy it

 

Beautiful bike.HTR sir!
