I've had 2 Aprilias , This RSVR is a fantastic bike ,but with a little after market work on performance changes it's amazing how this bike & engine package realy goes. I love the torque & the ridability of this machine.
If you buy one you will only smile all the time.
By the way the girls like it to.
