Really sexy vehicle Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Cheers! You'll have to catch up for a ride next time you go to visit your in-laws

Sounds like an excellent scheme. Just don't expect me to keep up with you and Neal!

Somehow I don't think that's going to be a problem - I need to learn how to ride my bike first! That is, stop drooling over it and RIDE IT!

[Dazza]

Sounds too much like a Schwarzenegger bike for me
I'll stick with the sexy Italian thanks... "It's all about style darlings..."

Edit: speaking of seedy pics, I'm keen to get some good ones of me and my bike. Start with locations in the BOP me thinks.

Have camera,will travel style is such a subjective thing anyway though !

[The Stranger:Me]

The white colourscheme really does it for me - it's far nicer than the red/grey version. I wasn't so keen on it at first sight, but it's really grown on me!

I dunno, kinda looks like a bucket with the white tank doesn't it? albeit an expensive bucket.
The red/grey version looks all class.

Thanks CaN, I think so too ;-)

Congrats tho MotoGirl, damn sexy bike you have there. I went with the red/silver as I don't like the Lion's head graphics, but the white does look smart. The seats are a let down on the RSV-R's, so let us know how the Rider seat feels if you do go for one.

Also keep us posted on a group ride, round Turangi would be great I reckon, there's some nice roads around there especially between Turangi, Taumarunui and National Park. I'd be keen to tag along if you don't mind one more Aprilia adding to the thunder.

Motogirls father owns Rider Custom Seats, so our bikes are often there test beds for new designs/features. And of course advertising, which of course the RSV will be good for.

Espically with the pipes with the removeable baffles out.

I tossed up between the red/grey one at TSS and the white one at Strada. The pics of the red one probably didn't do it justice, but it just doesn't appeal to me.

What was my rationale for choosing the white you may ask? Well, how many people do you know that own a red Italian bike? Oh, only 90 percent of Ducati owners!

I wanted something a bit different, and stuff all people own a white bike. I LOVE the lion's head and it wasn't visible enough on the red version.

Yeah, I knew there was a connection in there somewhere. Still interested in her opinion, even if there is a chance it might be a little biased

[MotoGirl]

This bike sounds DAMN good with the Akrapovics!
I had a conversation this morning about the noise, which went a little something like this:
Workmate: "That bike is really loud!"
Me: "Yeah, it's OK. Didn't think you had heard it yet?"
Workmate: "I couldn't help it, I heard you coming from 2 blocks away!"

I LOVE the noise - especially when it sets off car alarms

[ArcherWC]

I will be up for a ride as well as soon as my licence is returned to me

I'm keen to hear any ideas you guys have for my custom seat.
I'll probably keep the cover red, but I could possibly go charcoal. I have so many options, such as incorporating:
- Lion's head from the fairing
- Aprilia logo
- Italian flag
- RSVR logo
- My Motogirl logo.

I'm not a fan of the lions head logo, so personally would probably go for just the Aprilia logo (the Italian flag seems a bit . . . wanky, if you dont mind me saying).

Your own MotoGirl logo sounds even better, normally I would say dont do it as it will affect your resale, but I'm sure in your case it's not a problem to get that removed if/when you go to sell it.

Yep - I had the Motogirl logo on my Gixxer seat - see here: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...589#post627589

I'm thinking I might do something different this time round. Afterall, people have seen the Motogirl seat so I need something different. Plus, whatever I do has to be classy and match the theme of the bike.

Nice bike!

Have to agree, go with the motogirl
