*** Show us your bikes! ***

It's not my fault, Draeger made me do it. (excuse number 326 for when my wife finds out)

Picking this up at the weekend, but will have to keep it at a friends house until I sell the SV650S and my GPZ500.

Very nice indeed.
 
Its not the looks its the noise . No baffles and im in heaven .. and even non bike riders dont seem to mind it unlike a wailing il4
 
Wouldn't want to do a track day on my bike in case I came off and messed it up!

Went to George White today and I love the CBRs and GSXR 750's along with the Daytona 675 I have no idea what I would want for next bike :o

Aim a year or two older and get a cheapy for trackdays...
:)
P.S. Loving the Aprilia-ness of the last few posts!!!
:D

No more dangerous than riding on the road. As with any kind of riding, it's the rider that keeps the bike from crashing...Ride like a idiot on the road and you'll crash, ride like a idiot on the track and you'll crash.

I'd rather crash on the track, last year I came off at 90MPH, no injuries at all and the bike had a broken lever. Do the same on the road and you'll most likely be lucky to live.
 
Left my poor little SV with my brother and rode the RSV home. I suspect the stupid grin I am wearing will take quite some time to go :) Incredible machine, so relaxed and comfortable at legal(ish) speeds yet ready to go into warp drive without having to drop several gears. Only very slight negative is pretty heavy wind blast unless you literally have your chin on the tank. A double bubble screen will be top of the list of improvements!
 
Fitted these on the RSV and tried them out for the first time today, awesome! I can't believe how much changing the levers can make to the feel of the bike. 2 fingered braking is much easier (never got the hang of it before) and the clutch somehow feels lighter? (not sure how that works with a shorter lever but it's true!). Got these from ebay... <£40 for the pair and they are seriously good quality, easily up there with Pazzo, Titax etc which are £70 each.

You git.

You're tempting me to splash out cash I really shouldn't be spending. :p

@Dogbreath - The grin never leaves you. I still grin like a lunatic every time I ride my Mille. And yes, double bubble makes a great difference. I have a black tinted Fabbri which I highly recommend.

Ooh - will they fit anything? Got any names / linkages?
 
Got them from: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/MC-Motoparts.

The auctions are bike specific but you have to message him with the model and year etc anyway so you can have any you want from his list (think it's on every auction anyway). Took a little while to come from china (2 weeks or so) but worth the wait! :) .

Absolutely no issues with fitting, absolutely as perfect as more expensive ones (and there are a LOT of people on an Aprilia forum I'm on that have them too). Don't believe the nay-sayers ;) .
