Absolutely love the Aprilia, but been stung once by the brand. They sound mega with an SC Project exhaust.
why what happened? I've been stung by Honda and now bmw. Bmw wrote my bike off by washing it in tfr or wheel acid. Just been paid out by their insurance, they tried fucking me off
I had an RS125 and it had the worst electrics issues. I'm sure the newer RSV4s will be fine, but it was such a farce to deal with when I got it that I sold it 6 weeks later for £500 less. How/when did they wash it in TFR?! Guessing it marked any metal exposed (frame etc)?
Apparently the issue with Aprilia in the UK is rooted in the Piaggio end of things, I've heard hair-raising tales.
Well I've never bought a new one of either so cannot comment. On the whole both have a history of good products but quality control isn't what it was... I'd love a newer GS but everything about them looks cheap compared to the older models, and a bit the same for Honda too. It's a shame but motorcycles and cars are not made as well as they used to be. A mixture of cost-cutting and recycling / green imperatives I feel.
UPDATE Half the stuff has gone out in the post or will do this evening. List on 1st page updated. Tomorrow I'm hoping to sort the bigger stuff out ... but still need a couple of boxes for some of it and some more bubble wrap. Thanks for all your patience chaps ... this takes an AGE!! p.s. open to offers on the other stuff left.
Hi Mr OCD, do you still have the comfort seat? (I'll be honest I've not read the whole thread so sorry if this is already gone). If so,how abrasive was your bottom? i.e. is it still in good order (the seat, not your arse)
Remainder parts! - Genuine Honda front brake discs - £200 (brand new - used for 70 miles to rule out an issue) - ASV black levers - £120 and boxed - Big piston forks from 2014 blade - £250 (will need your standards!) - just serviced by KAIS this year in March at a cost of £160. They have done 1,000 miles since. - Evotech swingarm bobbins - £20 - chain guard - £35 - sprint air filter - £60 (brand new) - as new Rear indicators - £25 Camchain tensioner and gasket - £60 (brand new - fitted for 10 minutes to rule out an issue then removed)

Yes fella. Sorry for the delay ... I wanted to ensure the carbon bits are fully protected! The post office hate me ...
To anyone looking to buy stuff; my rearsets rocked up today. Top bloke, no messing about, just how it should be.
