new 2008 aprilla rsv 1000
« on: May 25, 2010, 06:50:06 PM »
just had a little play on my mate's brand new 2008 rsv aprilla 1000,lovely bike very smooth and exellent in the corners,the brakes are very good and i really liked it, reminded me of the super duke i just sold just leave it in any gear and use the engine brake and torque of it to slow down or give it some,i told him to go one smaller on the front sprocket as it will be a tad quicker as this is what i done to the duke and it improved it alot and get some titanium akras and a pc 3 and race filter and it will be awsome,he only payed a tad over £7000 for it brand new in the crate,awsome price for a bike with all the bits on it and its stunning to look at,im borrowing it in the week as he needs to do another 300 miles on it to get it run in and then get the first service done on it which will cost £300 :rofl from the aprilla place in portalbot  :no but apart from this service price its a strong thumbs up from me,lovely bike........ :thumb_up :thumb_up :thumb_up :thumb_up :thumb_up

Lovely looking bikes.  Do they still make them now or has it all gone to the new RSV4.

Would be interested to see what you think of the RSV4  :cheers

my mates is one of the last ones made before the rsv4 was made so it has all the bling on it from standard,just waiting for the chap at aprilla to give me a call to say when i can come up there for a test ride and after hearing the sound of that mv f4 in your vid, i would'nt mind taking one of them out aswell as i've never really though about a mv f4 as a hooligan bike and change my mind about the bmw.??? the rsv4 i sat was not small as im 6 foot and it was ok for me,the seat was hard though so a gel seat would be the order of the day for one,the rsv4 looks small as the fairing at the front is so close to the bars that gives it the illusion of being tiny which it isnt.....

Bean (the manager of STP) said he knows a guy in riders and is going to do a quick swap, him on the BMW and the riders guy on his MV to see what he thinks of it.

The F4 revs like a 750.  Get a go on it, That's what the demo's there for  :cheers
