Brand new 1000cc V-twin on the market for 4.5k

[hornetrider]

1000cc. Brembos. Brand spanking new.

£4500!

Total bargain!

Can you guess what it is?

[Chilli]

Not very good?

[hornetrider]

Au contraire

[roboxm3]

Aprilia?

[randlemarcus]

Chinese? A scooter? Nekkid city bike?

Not forgetting that displacement and stickers on brakes do not make the bike good, c'mon, wassit?

Gold star.

Aprilia have some brand new 'old' stock they are selling off cheap, all will be registered 08.

Falco for 4.5k
Tuono/RSV for 5k
RSVR 6k

Tidy.

Tis a hell of a lot of bike for £6k.
Erm, excuse the ignorance, but is the RSVR commonly known as the "Factory"?

[roboxm3]

Would anyone rocommend the RSVR as a good first bike??

Oh yes.

Carbon fibre high levels - check
OZ wheels - check
Shiny Ohlins goodness - check

I'm almost tempted myself...

Surely a brand spankers Choono for 5k has got to be a better bet than a Hornet or Bandit or CBR6...

I know, spotted it on ridersite the other day.

Not sure I'd want one thats been sat for so long though, these bikes seem to react well to being used.

RSVR used to be the top model on the older model.

The new (2003-) Mille was available as either RSVR or the Factory (excepting Marcus's carbon Nera).

As the model has evolved the base model has gained a higher spec including more Ohlins.

I'm not sure they'd sell it with 5 year old delivery oil in, bound to give it a fluid refresh.

Maybe not, but all the perishable bits and pieces will have been unused, the tyres will now be 4 years old at least. My concern would be that you don't know the conditions in which the bikes have been stood.

In the long run, it might really not matter but its a bit of a gamble.

[sprinter885]

Would they be "marked" as cheap new bikes which then lose value accordingly ? (If you see what I mean??)

Maybe, & I mean maybe, a 3-4 yr old "New" Honda but an Aprilia-I think I'd be wary.
