just curious...
As title says. My last bike was a Honda VFR800. It's been eating me alive not having a bike... don't think i can resist more than 1 more yr w/o 1... Thinking on either a 1000cc or zx14, due to more comfort and still plenty of fun to ride... plus I want a bike that accelerates faster than my car... lol |

I'm currently running a 2000 Aprilia RSV1000 Mille.. It's my.. 5th bike I think, I was without one for a few years after my VFR, and I've always loved this bike, and I found this one with only 2700 miles on it in 2006, had never seen rain! (I quickly fixed that)
I figured I should own one top-shelf sportbike before my back gets too messed up and I can't assume the full-on sportbike tuck anymore, so with this one up for sale at less than half of new, I scooped it up. The v-twin is amazing, and I love busting the Harley owners' balls that they're not the only ones with a 60° v-twin, mine just makes 130hp with 1000cc. The combination of the chassis, decent suspension, and great brakes really make for a fun bike. At VIR on a VERY cold trackday, running the FULL course.. (over 150mph 3 times a lap when I pulled the corners right) Unfortunately, I low-sided on a cold patch of the track on the last lap of the last session of the day, 3 turns from the finish.. Oh well, never take anything to the track you're not willing to take home in a box! (IMG:http://rnrfab.com/rich/rsv/KIT9282-sm.jpg) |
