Are they standard cans or aftermarket aprilia ones?

Hows it feel compared to the TL?

Compared to the TLR, its a different league, handling wise its just biblical, i was under the impression the forks wouldnt make alot of difference on the road, but they make alot and this is stock settings.

Motor wise im still unsure as im running it in, so far it seems alot revvier than the TLR.
The pant job is fairly low quality which is its only downside so far.
Braided hoses as standard, Radial Brembos with master cylinders means the brakes are razor sharp.

Its better then the 749 handling wise, but i feel i cant review it properly as i havent really ridden it properly.
Ill be getting a test ride on the new 1098 and RC8 for a compare also.

Oh i have to answer this. He's a sodding Postman. Laughing

I say it purely out of contempt Dave as you're able to own some fecking nice bikes...and this is no exception. You say the paint job quality is a bit pants so how bout a Dream Machine jobbie? Or are you going to get some cans and PC on there first?

nice bike i'm just selling mine got it new back last year,
brakes handling amazing just not enough power for me but its a nice ride,
just watch for rear light & speedo if they get water in them i had to replace mine under warranty so no cost and ive heard many of them had same issue
but they do change them only took me 8 months to get the parts thats the only thing with aprilia waiting for parts
i geared mine down on front and you can get air box mod (rsvr.net shop) also remap n02 and exhaust system make such a big diff.
very nice colours Thumbs Up Laughing
p.s
rear brake may fail at some point but i never used mine any way
just bleed it will be ok it, valve in wrong place.

Nope, they are not, they are heavy and very very quiet.

Mods planned are cans and crash protection.

I did indeed, fully clear.

Ive now run the bike in (600 miles) just waiting for the first service so i can unleash the power, i can tell it really wants to take off at 6,000 but i have to change then Sad.
Ill get a better review up when its done, also after 250 miles on sunday and 130 yesterday, its quite apparent its the most uncomfortable bike ive ever owned inc the Ducati, thank god its a toy.
Handling is still whopping Smile
