RSV4 - Official pics

[MotoGirl]

Word from the local Aprilia dealer is that these will be here early 2009. Already put my name down for a test ride

190kg fully tanked, 210hp at the crank... NICE!

Thats 1.105hp per Kg.

So if a car weighs 1250kg (e.g. A Pagani Zonda) then it should have an equivilant power of 1381hp...


Sounds... FUN!!

No i said on back of rsvr once.

But just an obsvation i saw.

I know some husbands are not allow some bikes like these due to no seat for her on back (even tho they never use it), its more there if they choose to go on back.

can carry a pillion

Great read. So according to Galuzzi passenger pegs bolt underneath the frame and the RSV4 can be set up for 2-up riding.

[nodrog:Me]

can carry a pillion

same set up as the rc8

[Trouser]

It's a bit of a visual assault though. Functional, no doubt, visually appealing, no.

Do Aprilia use those little nuts held in place by rubber? As if they don't I am jumping this stupid fuckin Honda ship after 20 years of one brand loyalty, god damn I hates those bolts!

20 yrs ago an Italian company took obvious styling cues from the Honda RC30 to produce the most beautiful motorcycle of all time: the 916.
20 yrs on and another Italian company copies one of the ugliest CBR's of all time (and frankly there have been a few) to produce this Swamp Donkey.
And now, while I shed a tear, can we please have 3 minutes silence for Italian design.

Still wont help it. It's a train wreck. Even the labore government cant rescue this pileup.

However I think the SL750 and RXV range look good.

Might as well have the balls to say;

It's fugly.

Everyone has the right to freedom of speech, and sorry, I just cant fall in love with that rear end on it.

Don't be so hard man. It's the Cameron Diaz of motorcycles. Once you look past the skinny-as boney arse, it has a certain sex appeal.
