Not a Blade, but I fancy changing my current RSV Mille and saw this one.... Full Ohlins, Oz Magnesium wheels, Brembo's, lots of carbon being the R version... 13k miles. £3k The bazooka exhaust would e chopped off pretty pronto though :0)
That's nice!. You got a rear view of it? Thinking of fitting an Aprilia tail unit to my 98 Blade, but I'm not sure which Aprilia it's off!!!
this one has the twin rear lights at the back Alan........like after burners. Rob cracking bike that mate, although i have never ridden one i have always liked the RSV and you certainly get plenty of bling with them.
My mate had two and they were both great when they worked, the build quality is shocking they just kept breaking I wouldnt touch one with yours for the simple fact I know how much his failed
Also I have a mate who is a aprilia dealer, he says it is easy to clock the RSV so you need all the service history and an MOT check to prove Miles on the clock. Not that you would not check this and there not all clocked obviously, but one more thing to think about
Awesome bike, I had a 2000 RSV-R (Art editor Kar Lee from performance bikes mag sold it me so it was well ridden!) but never let me down sounded fantastic with a race pipe and boy did it handle ...... Unfortunately binned it in the rain !
