RSV 1000 '08
10/03/11 4:04 AM

What's up guys!

Wew, been a while that i've been browsing this Forum. I bought my ZZR14 last year and i am very happy with it. No issues whatsoever! I guess that's the reason i haven't been checking up on the forums lately. hehe!!

I thought i'd leave a message since i bumped onto this forum while looking at some new bikes.

Wednesday im going to check on a Aprilia RSV 1000 R '08 it looks/sounds great!!


Anyone has any experiences with these bikes? I checked the forums and there's alot of good signals, but also some bad ones...... But i guess not everyone can be happy.

Matsuke, DUDE! wassappppp. man-

What I hear most often is that it is a problem doing the work on European bikes because they require brand specific tools. Also, work done at the shop is pretty expensive. You're getting into rich man's territory with that bike. The Jap bikes are more universal.

....tell you the truth, I don't think you are going to find any better performance if you get away from Japanese motorcycles. The Euro bikes are sure cool though.

What's up Rook!!!

How's you??! Still enjoying the ZX and the Hayabusa??

About the RSV, hmm. That was also a question from my side to the RSV Community - Is this a expensive bike to maintain? They said it isn't really...


HMMM.... I hate jumping into bikes i dont really know, but its also kind of exciting. Esp. since its a V-twin = RAAAWRR!!!!

Ohh, nice Ninjamaster!

Could you tell me some more about your experiences with this bike? What's your size, do your wrists hurt after a while? What about ur ass - The seat looks small :P

Is it a expensive bike?

Hows the power on the bike compared to ZX14?

Eager to know!!

Thanks

Doing well here, R. Still loving the busa and the 14. Sent you an email with a vid link.

Looked up this vid this morning. Look at the ass on this bike. Is that sweet or what?

I still think I would go with a New honda.suz/ yam/kaw bike. if I could manage to cough up the kind of dough they are asking, it would not be a lot less than some of the more exotic bikes.

RE: RSV 1000 '08 - Changed my mind =_= ty Rook!! lol
10/05/11 7:05 AM

Fuck this, i am staying with the ZZR1400 .


Rook, it's all your fault. lol... Well, and the fucked up dealers around here that want way too much for a Ape.


I need some advice Guys, rook,

My bike is a '06 Antracite (Grey) with around ... 33.000 (Kilometers) on the counter.

Basicly, i found out i LOVE this bike in either RED or White.. OR black. So that's basicly what im after.

NOW: I can eighter switch it in for a lower KM bike + maybe a year higher, around 2010 or so - OR buy a 'official' fairing set.

Afterwards, im gonna pump the bike up to get more Low more (i didnt do what u all told me to do - and get the bike to also have power under those 6.000 rpm's.

Help me out on this one guys!!

My tech friends tell me that the valves on the RSV never go out of adjustment, so it's pretty reliable.
