So I'm a photo whore, sue me, it's a beautiful bike. Figured I had better take pics now while it's super clean.

More to follow, photobukcet re-sizes them whereas bike pics doesn't so I'll have to swap them over, arse. Wink

Note lack of faith in Aprilia side stand. Laughing

Mods so far:

Datatool System 3

It's been fully de-restricted, so nothing in the airbox or exhaust and it's running map 2.

33bhp kit Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Until feb. Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad (repeat as appropriate Crying or Very sad )

7 x 5 plate going on soon along with some R&G cotton reels.

It's on the list of stuff to change in the summer. It's £959 for a new stock Aprilia can!!

I'm thinking Blue flame twin port, or a nice Arrow/Akra + PCIII

Don't know, don't have tax yet so haven't had chance. Wank I presume.

It's only 4 months though and I guess it gives me a chance to see how it handles without the worry of 120 odd bhp trying to high side me.

Well the original plan was not to bother getting it restricted, but the insurance company asked, and I couldn't find a dodgey dyno printout in time, so it had to be done.

It's only 4 winter months though, so I'm not too bothered.

Means I get used to know it turns without 120 odd bhp trying to high side me.

Very very nice. I do lust after RSV's, big twins FTW Not that I've ever ridden one of course!

My head says you should have waited to get it till Feb, and saved your money, but my heart knows why you didn't! Thumbs Up

Looking very nice mate, will have to go out for a spin when you get tax, two 02 rsv's on the road Very Happy

Was speaking with some people from the uk aprilia's owners club today and they said the airbox restriction really does not make a difference, ive already got the desrestricted airbox intake so will fit anyway.

Ive just fitted the crash bung on the other side of mine, something worth doing but you do need to cut fairing if you go for those ones. Oh and theres very good reason not to have faith in the sidestand, im getting american one when i can afford it.

Why must you corrupt my desiscion making.

Every time I see one I'm like I must have one.

But I still have hope I can find a k5/6 1000 for the right price.

(or RSVR)

So how many miles have you done on her.

More likely to have had to pay more in Feb with the biking season whirling round, this one came up with low miles, one owner at the right price.

American side stands better???

EDIT just looked into it, stupid lame euro stands:

https://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=131127&highlight=SIDESTAND+DESIGN

45+P&P for that one though, I assume you have already seen that mind.


Yeah, I saw that cutting was involved on the front set, I may put it in to an R&G dealer for them TBF, I don't want to go hacking up those expensive panels then get it wrong.
