You've probably seen it if you have well fuckin' done if you haven't click me and then well fuckin' done (http://www.twostrokeshop.com/Aprilia_RS500_2008.htm)

but has anyone built/imported/modded one? had a ride on one? seen one? smelt one? at the track? on the road? in the air? on the side of the road?

They're made in Australia (as you know) and Australia (relatively speaking) is pretty close to New Zealand (as you know) so figured the chance of one being seen in the wild is pretty good.

Personally the uniqueness of it plus italian styling made by aussie good bastards appeals to me but my experience with 2 strokes is well....disheartening....there's also my lack of knowledge in building motorcycles.

so alas I'll file it under dreams-I'll-one-day-be-rich-enough-to-pay-someone-to-make-happen-for-me and go back to looking for a 600cc sports bike like every other newly full licensed biker.

Last I heard it was being tested in Tauranga and was due for an appearance on track at Taupo. The guy doing the expansion chambers for it is a Kiwi.

Do a search on this site it has been done on a few threads (ie eddieb thread just down from this). The kit parts they use are Trinity in the US of A (made for Banshees) but modded a bit. I have a Trinity engined 496 in RGV type setup.
