Aprilia RSVR

[stefano]

Found and tested this one https://www.phoenixmc.co.uk//index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=24&Itemid=39 and it felt like a dream...
Can anyone give me any advice or feedback, if you have ridden or owned one? The sound from the Akrapovic can is like Pavarotti at the Opera.....

Very good bike, very balanced felt great comming from riding a Ducati 749.
Cannot fault the bike one bit, but i can fault Aprilias aftersales service.

Lovely looking bikes. I love how they look quite chunky. The big exhaust doesn't look out of place on them somehow. Need to get a test ride on one when I'm looking for a new bike..

A very confidence inspiring bike, I've only ridden the older model once and it was great. Ended up buying a new model and I love it... found myself going quicker on the ride home from picking it up than I would of on my previous bike. Official parts can be a pain to wait for, though as they seem such a reliable bike that isn't to much of a worry.

I just bought one last weekend but haven't done enough miles to give you a review yet. I've done 300miles but all in the rain so can't really comment on just how good the handling is.
One thing I would say is that they seem to be going really cheap just now. I've seen dozens of 2000/01 bikes go for less than 2500. I picked up mine, a 99 with 21k, full MHP system, Ohlins shock and fork internals, steering damper, R&Gs, Harris clip ons and a few other extras including a buggered battery for £1711. It's a little scuffed from a gentle spill but nothing I can't live with.
Some real bargains to be had

Would still rather a TLR though.

That looks a bit expensive.

Does look a bit pricey compared to a brand new one at £6700.

Wouldn't mind an RSV, more powerful and better handling than the SV, but still a v-twin, mmmm upgrades.

Cant count out the Ducati 999 Bip either. (5000-6500)
Id pay a little extra and get the Aprilia RSVR Factory (ohlins forks, shock, OZ wheels, carbon fibre etc) price range of 5500-6500.

Factory does use the same engine as the regular RSVR i think the 999 may pip it by one or two bhp.
Factory is alot more trick than the 999 bip, you need to pay a little extra to get the 999S for its full ohlins.

I'd quite fancy a Futura myself if it wasn't for the worries about parts

Seems like such a good recipe for a bike otherwise

I think after I get married its going to be a toss up between an RSV or CBR600RR

CBR6 would be more suitable, but the rsv is pure porn, for the eyes and ears

Boo decisions!

She's coming home saturday afternoon.....

[chrisstone]

hi
ive got new one very beautifull looking bike handling and brakes amazing if had to be honest its just a little under powered but rsvrnet.com have some good bits
plat plugs
air box mod turns under tank into air box
power commander
full system exhaust
gear it down on front

then they shift oooh yes

[virus]

what about the rsv1000r nera?

like rocking horse manure, but they look so awesome

take the RSV Mille R Factory and add the latest in light weight materials:
- carbon for all the body panels,
- magnesium wheels,
- full titanium exhaust,
- titanium nuts, bolts and fasteners,
- new molybdenum disulphide surfaced pistons,
and you get a bike 10 kilos lighter (at 175kg) and with 3 bhp more (141.3 bhp at the crank).

Only make 200 of them.

£25k

stinkwheel Well I just had my hands up a pigs fanny. Which makes your concerns pale into insignificance.

im in love. Get the factory can pick an older model up for even less now

[beau1066]

I have an 04 RSVR factory with some extras, Tri oval cans, 143bhp at the wheel,(dyno'd) Harris levers, one tooth off the front, screen, some more carbon bits added, but to answer the question is it any good?

A friend and I recently went to the Moto GP round at San Marino something like a 2200 mile round trip my bike performed bloody well under the circumstances, very comfortable for me (5"8) good mileage giving around 140 miles at 90mph before filling up, engine is fantastic and never missed a beat and just in case you think I am biased I also have an 06 tricked out blade and an 05 sprint ST 1050 and I would not have taken either for the trip.

It's going up for sale in a few weeks when i return from Iraq, 6,000 miles full DSH, T&T, USB 3 Power commander, BHC filter mapped to cans (143bhp at wheel), dubble bubble screen, harris raing levers and all original parts as well need more pics just ask also have a video of the cans, sound awesome...will be looking at around £4.5K

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

Wow, check the date on this thread.
