Going Back to the Dark Side...
My backs been good for nigh on two years now, so what-the-hell... I'm going back to 2 wheels. 
Put a deposit down on this little fella today - Aprilia RSV1000R Factory.

PS - Thanks for the approving comments! I've always admired the Factory R... probably the best bargain in sportsbike history!
A Duke may be prettier, but a 916-998 with Ohlins, OZ forged wheels, carbon and brembos would easily cost twice the price of the Aprilia.. maybe 3 -
and it wouldn't go much faster!

Good choice.
I had an RSVR Mille - great bike - wheelies on demand. Monster torque, I swear I could have rode it without brakes, the engine braking was phenomenal.
It was very easy to do silly speeds on - after riding big revvy 4s the lazy revving V twin was deceptive in terms of revs vs speed.
Enjoy
And 2nd dibs when you sell it

Yummy! I've fancied an RSV for a very long time, the Falco was also on my radar for the same reasons. I doubt I'll ever be able to afford
a Factory R though, my budget is closer to one of the first RSV's in 'fixer upper' condition!

Hey scootz,
does that mean that there will be a massive post apocalyptic sale?
Seriously - stay safe!

TBH, it will probably get ridden once in a blue moon... just always fancied one and this turned up at the right price. May as well make hay whilst
the sun shines... my back feels great right now, but I guess that (and many other things) could all change in a heartbeat!
As my grandad would say... yer a lang time deed!

I have a 2001 RSVR. Its a fantastic bike but having done 200 miles in 7 years is a bit of a waste really!
