Hard to tell in the pics, but looks like they have went with the stupid "one eyed" headlight when on dim ??
I like the 4 bulb set up on my 07 much better where 2 are on at all times instead of looking like you have a "light out". Other than that..... this thing is fricking AWESOME!

My local shop has them for demo rides. They say if you bend it, you buy it.... Call sales to book a ride and have valid license, insurance card, riding gear and understand that if you bend it you bought it. So don’t go crazy. Our route is a 7 mile loop with mild twisty urban roads plus freeway miles to feel the power.

The only niggle I've READ is, its seat isn't exactly comfortable. |

I threw a leg over one (already sold) at the local Aprilia dealer on Friday. Looks much nicer in the flesh IMO. Ergos felt great. I really liked the way my legs fit into the tank. I can only imagine what all that power is like on a corner exit. I liked it. A lot.

The unbelievable thing is just how smooth the engine is. There's virtually zero vibration in the seat and pegs. The fueling is also spot on. There is no snatchy on/off throttle response that plagues many FI bikes.

There's a APRC sitting in a dealership 4 miles from me. It's their demo with 720kms on it for 12k eurobucks. Yellow. I think it would look good next to my Norge. I keep thinking I really should find out what the insurance cost would be.

Just shave ~60 pounds off your MTS and slap in a 1198 motor (non-11 degree) and you'll be mostly there Skipper. And you'll have ABS which the V4T doesn't, so there's that.

It's the properly firing V4 more than anything (as opposed to the new VFR). Honestly if this had been available when the MTS was first available...this would be in my garage right now. Hope my wife doesn't troll the forum and see this. |
