New here, but have been lurking for the last month or so and have found some good information regarding my decision to purchase Aprilia.  I have not been on this type of bike for 15 years EEK!  Currently I have dirt bikes and Harley's, but no rice rockets Bigsmile  Took the advise from Eric J as he has a similar back round to mine, thanks Eric.  I will post pics once I get her home and bathed Inlove

Wish me luck!!!

Congrats & welcome Steve!   Bigok

I am not an Aprilia owner, but I did get to test ride both the RSV1000R & Tuono @ Daytona this year. IMHO, the Aprilia demo program was a class-act. $20 bought you a 1.5 hour test ride with snacks, t-shirt, cap etc…   Enjoy your new mount!   Thumbsup

Aprilia rocks.

Welcome to the cult club.   Bigok  It's nothing but goodness.   Cool

Don't forget...first thing to do is drop the front sprocket to 15 teeth in lieu of the 16 that comes with the new bikes.  16 is an EPA concession; it was designed for 15 and the engine is much happier at low revs with the shorter gearing.  And it's cheap to do.   Thumbsup

Congrats on the new bike! My local Aprilia dealer has a 2007(?) black/gold RSV Factory sitting on the floor  Drool

I would love to have a Euro liter sportbike in the stable, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled for screaming deal on lightly used Daytona 955i, RSV/Mille, or Duc 999.

My local ducati dealer has a 999 with 7k miles - they want $10,199 (down from 14k).

Will do the 15 tooth front.  I read about that and feel it would be better off with that mod too.  

Thanks for the heads up!

My advice would be to stay away from Eric J.  He's a bad influence and has poor tastes in bikes.   Lol

Congats on the new bike!
