As an aside, I sent Ed Cook at AF1 Racing, the Austin TX based Distributor, an email and he mentioned all my negative posts on the RSV4 forum lately, didn't sound all that friendly and also said they have seen only two oil burner '21-'22 RSV4s but a few more catastrophic engine failures.
I don't know if this was meant to fill me with confidence or not but it doesn't help that I'm one of the unlucky ones that got a burner.
I love my Ape, best bike I've ever owned and a match for the new BMW but they need to understand that when spending $23,000 on what amounts to an expensive toy, I can't help but a be a bit agitated at the out come.
Reminds me of my experience with my '06 ZX-14, 17 years on and still as reliable as a cast iron anvil but my buddy bought an '07 and spun #3 rod bearing in the first 2000 miles. Go figure?
