Got to be " The Riot" :w00t:

SneakyMcC · 23 February 2008 19:52

Carlsberg dont do motorcycles, but if they did…

rennyboy · 23 February 2008 20:03

under the suzuki’s clothes it’s an aprilia, i.e. the very best of driving experience you can come across… I just hope the price is not excessive

MilleMonster · 23 February 2008 20:56

Oh my good god thats lovely :w00t:

Barry107 · 23 February 2008 23:22

Yep, you got me on that one

Gurney · 24 February 2008 04:50

That is a seriously sweet lookin’ 'sickle. Hope it 'aint too spendy…

Oh the irony of the skip in the background

The Aprillia is fookn gorgeous. There’s a 250 near where I work and it looks pretty nice as well.

But saying that, so any of them have the personality of The Riot ??!

Here where all RS250 belong, trackdays

A pic of one of my brothers on his RS250 (my old one) She sure likes to lean on BT90’s.

So what series is this RSV4 racing in?

Love your avatar barry:D

Seb_43 · 24 February 2008 12:28

looks like a superbike. its def not moto gp. so some may come to the conclusion that if its finished and developed as we see here…why isn’t it racing? Some might then say its prob a bag of $hit.

or like any poor superbike attempts it will race endurance…

or its amazing and will win WSB next season…no wait thats BMW right!?

After the success in the 2007 World Championships with Aprilia riders and bikes dominating the 125 and 250 classes, the company gave a preview of the eagerly awaited RSV 4 “RaceMachine”.

The preview was shown to an audience of more than 1,200 dealers attending the International Piaggio Group Convention.

The four cylinder, 1000 cc, has a claimed power output of 200 HP in the race version, the new bike due to make its debut by the end of 2008 will mark Aprilia’s return to the WorldSuperbike Championship in the 2009 season.

The Aprilia RSV 4 is driven by the most revolutionary and powerful engine ever built by Aprilia. The unique four-cylinder one litre 65°V engine layout is combined with the most advanced electronic control technology. It uses an integral ride-by-wire system, which maximises the bike’s performance potential, say Aprilia.

Cheers Scratchie;)

So does this spell the end of the road for the Mille then?:crazy:

Barry107 · 24 February 2008 13:15

Shame she was not mine and i’m sure the running costs would be more than any stink wheels

BumbleBee · 28 February 2008 23:24

I dont know which I’d rather have - the bike or the strap-on handlebars of Barry’s avatar!

Probably a joke montage pic but “I’d buy that for a dollar!”

Think of the fun - twisting the throttle and going Fruuuummmmmm Thrrruuummmmmmmm whilst you…erm erm I’ll stop. No really, I think it best.

Afro · 29 February 2008 00:23

PMSL…Imagine doing wheelies on that ride

Cough…Er hmm…About the Aprilia…Foooking gorgeous, despite looking like a bit like a Suzuki.

Also, Chunky rumour has it, Aprilia will continue to make the Mille, but will increase the capacity upwards towards 1200 cc.

They’ll have to change the name though as Mille means 1000 in Italian innit BumbleBee :laugh:
