Aprilia RSV4... wanna see one ?

i’m told there’s one at Metropolis motorcycles on embankment right this very minute…

lol - is that the time… must dash! :wink:

got to say thanks to the folk at Metropolis motorcycles : great bunch of folk there - I got there last nite after they’d put all the bikes away…

…and they still said “if you’re careful - you can pick your way through the bikes and have a closer look…”

two things about the bike:
1: its a work of art…

2: its tiny… the RS125 next to it was almost as big…

dont like those triangle things they’ve bolted onto the wheels
:hehe:

Presume they’re the new anti- theft devices? Might help in not dropping it too…

Gonna have to go in and check it out.

Seem to remember MCN reporting that it performs poorly on the roads though - doesnt like low revs?

There was one at In Moto on Tuesday. Looks nice

see on of these puppy’s tonite at Ace…

very very nice, so small!! there was a YZF-125R next to it, looked bigger then the RSV4!:smiley:

Popped along and viewed at Metropolis at the weekend. Was invited to sit on by v friendly sales chap – from the dirt on it they’ve got a demonstrator –as had son with me, and don’t have £15k to spare, was content to sit on and pretend rather then try to cadge a demo. Beautiful and really quite small; just a little smaller than my 05 ‘blade, which is not exactly porky to start with. £15k ‘though…

What is it with these tiny mini bikes, in a time when people are getting bigger they are making bikes smaller? And it ain’t even all that.

It’s must be a sign of recession Terry, what else it can be? :cool:

I guess so Pav, but if the bike is half as small why do they still charge twice as much?

looks nice the back swingarm comes out quite far tho :cool:
