    2 of my mates have had the R models, stunning italian machines, they both loved them! the only complaint was the suspension was a bit firm for road riding but perfect on the track.

    I have a SP1 and the Milles are huge next to it! alot taller than my squat little Honda!

    Oh they sound Cool as fuck too!

    A happy KB OP, surely not! I've taken a screen shot of that!
    Awesome bike dude, I've always admired those machines, metal porn they are! Enjoy

    I have an 05 RSVR, suspension top notch, engine top notch when its going good, otherwise its been a pain in the arse, everything from clutch problems to oil leaks.I also own a SP1, suspension not as good, engine just a bees dick down on power, but it has been 100% reliable unlike the rsvr.

    '03 Mille

    I have an '03 Mille with a few minor mods. Wouldn't be without her, she is my sweety.

    Test road a few RSVR's including a Gen1 and Gen II and just couldn't get to grips with the riding position. I CAN say that having owned a 2003 Tuono racing which was a keep till I die machine until I crashed it and a 2007 Tuono that the Rotax motor is absolutely bullet proof and a gem of a power plant. Never happy with the 07 and not liking the riding position of the RSVR I had to settle for a better V twin

    Loved our one but noticed that it could get pushed around a bit when cross winds.
    -1 on the front and +2 on the rear sprockets certainly woke it up too
