Old meets new

[Sensei]

Well was lucky enough to catch up with the owner of a RSV4 here in NP while out & about this afternoon & got to follow & listen to his bike with its GPR shorty pipe's howl out the lovely V4 sound , First time I've seen one in the flesh so was keen to stop for a chat & have a good look over his bike which was possible once I stopped at the Urenui pub for a drink & he pulled in as well , Very Kool bit of kit & he had put afew extra bits of Bling onto it as well as the GPR mufflers if you can call them that bloody small & non WOF but beautiful sounding , still alot of money at $42K would like to own one but the old Mille R still goes very well with the mods that she has & I would rather spend the money on the HSV now . Still makes the wish list for Chrissy tho :yes:

[EJK]

Those older RSV looks preety nice too, especially yours with Arrow pipes!

Classy, timeless elegance I say :yes:

[gatch]

Bugger me those are some long cans mate !

And the ones on the v4 could hardly be counted as silencers ha, cosmetic tips maybe ?

[White trash]

Fucken stunning piece of kit alright Scott, the first Spaghetti Slurper I've actually lusted after. Hopefully the dude will let you have a skid one day.

Nice car BTW :D

[Sensei]

Actually, it just needs some good ones.

Last inspirational V4 was the RC-30 as far as this Honda hater's concerned :D

[crazyhorse]

Nice looking bike :yes:

What about the 1965 Ford Transit? Wicked all out race spec V4. C'mon you're not one of these Ford/Holden biggots are you? Admit it, yer'd love one.


Here's one the whole family would enjoy;

I was gonna say, "What about the RC45?", then I realised that unless you throw lots of $$$ at one for the HRC bits, they're probably kinda underpowered for what they cost.

Why is one picnic table blue?

Why?

Why do Harleys not sink into the Grass? My Honda would.

Why?

Why did he call those mufflers? clearly they are not big enough to muffle!

Why?

$45 k

Why?

[Sensei]

Why ? because Y is a crooked letter & Z is not much better ;)

Don't buy a new Aprilia unless the distributor network guarantees to honour the factory warranty.

[Sensei]

LOL if you can buy one then thats the least of ya worrys Hitcher , had enough trouble getting parts for mine & thats 6ys old let alone warrantys . I hear TSS has lost Aprilia can you confirm this ?

[Hitcher]

I hear TSS has lost Aprilia can you confirm this ?

TSS, like Strada at Mt Maunganui, resigned their Aprilia dealerships earlier this year. You should talk with the principles of both businesses as to their reasons for that.

VERY tidy mate, nice work.

Mine's stock at the mo with the exception of manual ratio diff, full nolathane kit out, Koni 12 way bump and rebound coil-overs all round (lowered about 30mm), slightly quicker ratio steering rack, rebuilt and strengthened transmisson. Then it's had the leather re-done with black leather added to the seat centers and door panels

I'll be doing the heads, manifold, cam and breaings when it wears out. Problem is, the fucken thing's done 394K, never had the inlet manifold or rocker covers off and shows no sign of needing it. :D

Quick question, why would I look for a bike review in Performance Car magazine? I'd be more interested in reading about the HSV GTS VE2 than a bike. Likewise, I don't buy Kiwi Rider to be informed on how the new FG XR6 Turbo performs.

This isn't a sarcastic pisstake either, I'm genuinely interested in why a car mag would be publishing bike tests (and I'm aware that when NZ Performance Car was launched they had monthly bike tests)

[proseuche]

don't then, your loss :sunny:

This isn't a sarcastic pisstake either but why am I reading about Taxi's in a bike thread?

oh, :pok sorry yes it is a sarcastic piss take, but you get that with this model.
