Bought another one yesterday Hub, 2027 Aprilia RSV4 Factory this time around...

I believe this may have just bumped my 2020 BMW S1000RR out of the top spot, this is an incredibly good machine right out of the crate. I programmed the Ohlin's EC-2 suspension to Sport Active/A2 setting and it is freakin good, won't touch it!

Just ordered the Spark.IT Evo Titanium slipon exhuast system for it, should be here in a few days, next up is carbon fiber front and rear huggers from MotoComposites and then a tail tidy to finish things off.

Decided not to go full system headers and UP map this time, I went that route on my '21 RSV4 and it's too much, the '27 is a near perfect blend of out right performance and rideability in stock form and 220 HP is more than enough for me.

Hub you may be able to handle the '21s outrageous pull but I'm getting too old to hang on to this crap anymore, this is my last bike, at least my last superbike, having more fun these days on the RS660s and going almost as fast on a twisty backroad.

Yes Kruz, torque is in the blood for me. Does not get old in my wheelhouse. Congrats. Of course I would have said go for it. LOL

I must admit, you sure have a good eye for motorcycles. Between the duc's, the SS, and the apes, it's an eclectic bunch.

Have fun out there before the snow, then sit around and wait for it to thaw.

Yessir, the Aprilias are all known for delivering the top torque in their respective classes, makes life entertaining!

Was out on the new RSV4 this morning cutting a hot lap and this guy blew by me like I was stuck in first gear...

Hopefully any snow is still months away, typically January or February. October, November and December are often the best riding in North Texas, cool and sunny with light winds but you never know what your going to get, it's not SoCal....
