It is about time for me to ride a sexy Italian bike.

Now it is time to celebrate...
:beer:

PS: I would like to take the opportunity to thank you again for your support (see my previous thread).

See you around!

YOU MEAN TOP KIT LIKE THE FACTORY SECONDS FROM OHLINS, I SAW THE HAGA REPLICA UP CLOSE AND IVE NEVER SEEN SUCH POORLY MADE FORKS IN MY LIFE THEY LOOKED LIKE SHIT AND WERENT EVEN MACHINED PROPERLY

[Gremlin]

:gob: :thud:

oooh. Tis gorgeous it is... Consider putting in clear lenses, it makes it look real nice... ooh what a beauty. Don't forget to provide some pics of your own baby of course...

[ams67]

Let's put it in this way, it is enough to think that I want to turn left or right and she can read my mind. I tried the MVAgusta 1000 and the Ducati 999, as well. Great bikes, but the Aprilia was 'the one'... Riding the Aprilia generates serious plasure...second only to the 'main one'...

[Gremlin]

RSV factory, 999, you sound like me in a few years time, or now in a dream...

If I can be talking about them in such an of-hand manner in a few years, I'll be fine with that... :niceone:

[Hitcher]

Woo hoo! Nice ride. Congratulations!

[ams67]

Well, it is not as quick as the jap's equivalent 4 cylinders.
Top speed is about 280km/h (quick enough for me).
Anyway speed is not important for me, especially in NZ where roads don't tend to be straight and wide. Handling is the most import factor IMHO.

[ams67]

I had to sacrifice my KTM 520 and get rid of my Honda 1000RR in order to have enough money to get her. It has not been easy...but hey, we live only once...

[Suney]

Awesome bike dude, love the italian design

[FEINT]

Congratulations! .... Aprillia...... :love:

I like a 999 more but it is not about me or any one else it what you will enjoy so well done. Just one little note dont be like me and take it easy ride it hard from the start. (Took it easy on my 749 and someone rode into back of it 500 meters from the shop)

[ams67]

Yep, you are right. It is not a question of money, speed, shape, etc... I just felt my heart beat syncronized with her 'beat' while I was riding her. A feeling that is very difficult to explain. I ride my bikes every single day (through the rainy, sunny snowy, foggy days). I love riding bikes.
The 999 is a great bike (although I prefer the 998), but there was not the 'click' between us...
I hope I am not going to have my next 'click' with a 'Vespa'... That probably would be a serious issue. ;-)
I would like to have some advises about how to get the best 'running in'. I heard so many different opinions.

[Sparky Bills]

I likey very muchey

[Paul in NZ]

Very nice!

[vifferman]

Congratulations, ams67. Lovely bike! :niceone:

Hope you really enjoy it (and don't have any issues with the dealer :whistle: ).

Read The Manual, It'll tell you in there

[Coyote]

That is one awwwwesome bike :2thumbsup

So what sort of deal did the shop come up with where you traded two bikes for one? A 2004 Aprilia (brand new) is currently available for $28K

Did the shop cut you sharp deal on the Aprilia due to your CBR? I'm guessing its a 2004, so is a superseded model and they would be keen to shift it anyway. What year was your 520? Was it a EXC? Guess if your happy with the deal, thats the main thing but doesnt look if they did you any real favours, huh? I thought you werent happy with the way the bike shop treated you?
