nickerbelly 0 Posted June 14, 2011 What about an Aprilia RSV?? they have a rep for being bullet-proof and sound gorgeous!! - go quite well too - I would love to get one someday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfie 0 Posted June 15, 2011 I have a 01 RSV, the engines are pretty much bullet proof, couple of things to watch out for, Starter Sprag (only on really early ones, and not too much of a issue if you keep a Optimate connected when not used) and a large brown connector at the voltage regulator likes to melt causing voltage problems (this happens on Tuonos as well) really easy fix, cut the connector out and resolder the wires.the RSV is a tall bike, so if your a shortarse you might have problems getting on it....like me!but its totally mental!have you looked at KTM's offerings?Superduke or the 950 or 990 Supermoto?
