(by the way I have booked a go on the RSV4 non factory for when the SP goes in for service Should be fun

Do lets us know what you think Jim

Chris.

Will do Chris, looks good value next to the R1 with the new prices.

Good man Jim.

I've not seen one in the flesh yet, but the pic's I've seen I really like, not that I'll be able to afford one even if I do like it It hasn't stopped me reading about them though Hasn't the R1 this year had a fair price hike.

Chris, the R1 stands at 12K + or - dealer discount/optional extras

Me thinks it is certainly not 12Ks worth of bike (bear in mind I paid £7995 for the 09 Blade )

[Jbrebel]

How much are the V4 Aprillias running out at?

[Beamish]

Lower spec chassis and suspension same power non factory model £12500. I cant afford one I just want a go.

[Jbrebel]

Best way Jim.

They do look nice-can't get on with the silly looking exhaust.

The write up's I've seen seem to sing its praises in general.

Jim,
A big difference there I agree, unless Honda will be increasing their prices for this year of course.

JB,
That's the only thing I dislike (well only going by the pic's so far) is the exhaust on the RSV4.

[sirch345]

The RSV4 is physicaly tiny, a minus for a lot of riders, would imagine anyone over 5'8" would find it too small.

That's me out then Tim

Chris.

[Jbrebel]

When I read the write up's I questioned its physical size.

Saw Michael Neeves on it in MCN and he looked to dwarf it-think he's a 6ft plus'er...

[Beamish]

Chris is that exhaust any better? This is my friends and he is 6ft. Jammy bast eh! This is the all singing factory.

Sat on one a few month back at Blackburn Rocket Centre, was shocked how small they was comparied to the old RSV

had a sit on it in the show room and felt like i was on a 125! im 6ft 3 and im sure i looked a tw@ on it so my guess is your mate at 6 foot does too, defo one fot the little italians

WOW that's sooooooo much better in the looks department Jim I bet it sounds good too.

Chris.

Its easier to buy the DVD, I got it years ago and well on the basis of the DVD I would have bought the RSV,
but then isn't about looks too?

am I shallow or what?
