only prob is Aprilia values just about halve when you roll it out of the showroom , they just suck in retaining value

find one used and you would do fairly well
Yeah, I'm definitely buying second-hand. Never been a fan of buying new - lose way too much value just by rolling the bike (or car) out of the showroom. Better to let someone better off than me wear that cost! :)

If you can afford to SERVICE it, buy it!

Dude, most expensive service on my 06 RSV was $350 AND that included 2 new sprockets!

Service costs are NOTHING like the Ducs as the cams are chain driven not belt driven.

There are LOTS of power/bling mods for them.

Plus you get things like radial Brembos, braided lines, dry sump, rear wheel driven speedo (change sprockets without speedo going out) and a race map already built into the ecu.

And that's not true - guy over here sold his 06 and only lost $4k on the sale after 6 months. He was selling because he was building a new house.

They're an AWESOME bike and it'll sound even better with some Leo Vinces/Tigcrafts/Smaltmotos/Arrows/cored cans.

It's up to you, but I'm still loving my RSV. And if you get one, change the gearing -1/+2!

No 'if' anymore guys, I've got one. Rode it back from Adelaide and got it registered just yesterday. Pics will be up when I clean up the bugs from the trip back!

She's a Red 2003, Leo Vince pipe, airbox enlarged, chipped, 1 down on the front sprocket (might up the rear when it needs replacing, see how we go). Sounds horn and goes really hard - freakin scary! Wheelies all over the shop, and I suck at wheelies. ;)

So come on, pile on the shit! :lol:
