I love Italians Bikes!
Design technique and passion! that's why they are better!

Ah yes. The Aprilia RSV. Gotta love that design. But I must say, I have a few favorites over it ..

It seems somebody has a passion for sportbikes much like I do!

I favour the lighter, sleeker, more agile 600 class of sportbike .. but we can go the heavyweight for now.

I personally drive a 2005 Honda CBR 600 RR ... as my primary stunting bike. I have done a few modifications to my ride, including the suspension (which was amazing at stock) which is now just as good, if not better than the suspension on the Aprilia RSV (I am big on handling). But when it comes to shear speed and track performance, sure, my CBR does nicely (and great justice to the asian style supersports), but the Euro (primarilly Italian) sporters are the way to go.

And a few of my favs are ...

The Triumph Daytona 955i, with is sleek design and amazingly balanced powerhouse of an engine ...

The Ducati 999R, with 150 hp at 9,750 rpm produced from the smooth Borgo Panigale twin-cylinder engine that has been fit to the classic Ducati trellis frame. Its a bit weighty in corners (I know, I have piloted one) and feels a bit fat and sluggish, but that is only because I am used to the lighter and more nimble 600's. But when it comes to power .. man, this thing punches it.

And finally the MV Agusta F4 SPR. It has to be one of the fastest and classiest bikes I have ever laid eyes on. Not too much to say for comfort, though ... It is just shear ... uh. No words can describe how sweet this bike is. At 750 cc's it is one of the smaller engines in the group, but with no negative consequence. It is just the essence of pure speed. I have yet to ride any MV Agusta bikes, but I have seen them perform, and man .. can they perform.

But more about the topics starter bike, the Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory.
Man, when they say this thing is bringing previously unknown exelence to the track, they were not kidding.

With is radical design, sweeping performance and thunderous twin-cylinder twin pipes, it is just downright sexy.

One thing is for sure, I would not mind adding that baby to my garage, though I only have two bikes right now, one of which is actually an older Ducati.

What I really want is an Aprilia Tuono 1000 R. Just plain beastly, and I love the paint styles.

Aprilia has something to offer most every motorcycle rider, and I applaud them for yet again creating another amazing machine, the RSV 1000 R.

My buds got an Aprillia Adventure.. or whats it called..... im not sure if thats the exact name but i know it's Adventure or sumthing like that... it's nice.. pretty fast for a touring bike.
