Honda needs to watch this video....

If only they could come out with this bike and not the abortion that was given to us! I just wonder what this bad boy goes for?

Aprilia

 

Not so much

Not sure I would want to ride one to Long's next BBQ much less to Grand Canyon.Would most likely need an ambulance to bring my old ass home.Late model sport bikes are just not comfy enough for 500 + mile a day rides and having to fuel up every 100 miles gets old fast .

 

I would be in heaven if I could do 500 miles on that bike. :biggrin:

 

$20K for the factory version $16.5 for the R (regular). worth every penny for both. mysteriously no word on how much the new VFR will cost.

 

Lol!

I would be in traction after 500 miles on that bike.:biggrin:

 

+1. While I'd love to have one of these for everyday riding, I don't think I could handle it for my long rides (300-500 mile days).

Still, I wouldn't mind trying. :wink:

 

Yes that looks sweet. On the spendy side though. And finding a bike that is comfortable enough, handles well enough, and has lots of power is a real chore. Seems like everywhere you turn there is always a compromise of some sort.

 

I know, the more I watch the vids on Aprilia.com the more and more I want one!

 

Waiting for Aprilia to turn that bike into a SPORT-tourer. You would think that a supersport that a guy could ride 500 miles a day without suffering would be popular . . . .

 

Aprilia took alot of influences from the Honda RC 212V MotoGP bike. I love the looks of the RSV4 but agree it is too much sport for my needs. I feel if Honda had stayed with the sporting nature of the original VFR's, the newer versions would be very similar to the RSV4.

 

I sat on one for about a minute and they had to call the ambulance to get me off. :biggrin:

They are putting that same motor in the Tuono, due out very soon I believe. That should be something you can put some miles on comfortably if you don't mind riding a naked.

Still, the RSV4 is nice, esp. in white.

 

And do what, fuck it up like they did the VFR!:crazy: Just bring some Advil with you.

 

Actually, I meant an Aprilia V4 sport-tourer in addition to the Aprilia RSV4.

 

+1 :smile:

 

That's pretty darn nice. That'll be giving the 1198 a run for it's money

 

I don't think Aprilia has the means to get another bike out the door in ST trim with that engine. I think they are a pretty small company and I am grateful that the RSV4 will be out soon. I am going to try to make that my next bike if my budget allows. Good bye Honda....buongiorno Aprilia :thumbsup:

 

With Honda dropping out of the race scene, seems to me they are not interested in developing a hyper sport, they could in a heart beat, but they seem not to care like they use to. Soichiro must be rolling over in his grave. Be nice to park my ass on one of those RSV4s, maybe this time around they'll have one at the show to do just that..

 

I can only hope the 2010 Aprilias are all at the International Motorcycle Shows in the United States. I can't wait to see one. I never thought I would stray from Honda but I can't wait anymore from them to build something innovative...first V-tech now this...and you think it couldn't get worse....well it did.:crazy:

 

Revive the Futura with that V4 motor! :thumbsup:
