Aprilia RSV4 road bike - finished pictures

[Silver]

(I haven't seen this posted anywhere, so here goes...)

Where do I sign up for one? Stupid exhaust aside, I really like the look of this...

I agree, the can doesn't look great. was more of an after thought..
duno why, but it kind of reminds me of a woman wearing bootcut jeans and high heels

Fit, definately needs a different exhaust. Whoever designed that should be shot, then have people kick the fuck out of his family.

I just puked a little in my mouth and swallowed it again.

Nice looking bike, just get an Akra on there and the jobs a good 'un.

Doesn't really do anything for me, the headlights and tail section are horrible! as is the exhaust can, but I guess they've got to fit all the cats and silencers in somewhere.
The tail section is bit like the new R6, they look good on a track bike but once fitted with a plate and hanger they look terrible.

Really like the look of the swing arm and frame though

I think it looks awesome. Need to change that can though. an i reckon the tail section looks really good just put on a nice undertray unit and it will be pukka!

The RSV mille isn't known for being much of a slouch so i reckon that thing will properly shift like fook.

Be interesting to see the reviews of it on a proper road toast vs the twins/IL4's.

Tail is far too small. Where can I strap my luggage?

Also, looks as if the rear light is built into the plate hanger - not so easy to get a tail tidy I would have thought.

As for the can, well, just horrible, but I guess they intend that most peeps will change it.

Not as nice as the RSV R, not that the RSV R was actually nice, it just was better than that!

Yes and no. Headlights have a hint of 08 Fireblade in them, rear is a little short but overall I wouldnt say no.

Looks good in racetrim....

Looks mostly alright, the rear end just looks too wrong, the bike doesn't look 'balanced' if you know what I mean?

I'd be interested to see this in different paint scheme, as the black/red just doesn't work for it.

And I seriously dislike the middle headlight.

i actually like the exhaust in the real life picture. it does stand out abit but since when have rsv's been great looking? the headlights have always been ugly but this is an improvement.

wonder how it rides though

I like how the fairing still shows most of the engine, it's different...

Shame it looks just like a fireblade. Older mille's are distinctly Italian

Dont like it. Far to "pointy" at every angle.

[craigs23]

Looks like a chiselled Blade, and they're not exactly pretty.

At least it's got the engine the Blade should have had.
