jon5698 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 After Dude on the supra club put the idea in my head of getting an Aprilia RSV-R Millie, i started to get some insurance quotes and to my supprise found it cheaper to insure one of these than a 600 ninja.I have been to look at this 2003 model tonight on my way home from Ireland, and will be going back tomorrow with a deposit. It has full Ohlins suspension, Ohlins steering damper, Brembo brakes, lightweight OZ wheels, and lots of carbon I pick it up next saturday and i can't wait, i will take some better pictures then.

jon5698 Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Don't worry the sissy bar will be gone as soon as i get her home tomorrow, i think i am going for a Moto GP exhaust as i have seen a few and they look awsome. Also going to get the carbon air box with open filter, the induction noise is supposed to be unbelievable lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whitetrash Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 make sure you keep on charge all the time, starting on a weak battery can lead to starter clutch failure and i assure you its a bitch of a job! this was mine: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pandamonium Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Man thats a nice looking bike.Exhaust is very different but for me still has to be twin akrapovics Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah the Shotguns sounded amazing, narrow banked twins just sound like nothing elseYeah i have joined RSV zone and a few people have told me to speak to him. Picked the bike up yesterday and all i can say is wow! even with it raining for most of the way back from manchester the bike felt so planted to the road, and the handling is something else. The Ohlins suspension is amazing and the Brembos stop you on a six pence lol. The first thing i done when i got home last night was remove the grab handle and the rear pegs, put the single exhaust hanger on and it looks so much better. Once i get back from France i will be putting the lightweight rear subframe back on. Also it needs a really good clean as it got filthy yesterday lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
