    Hi guys!

    Thought I'd register on here and say hi! I've currently got an 04 Aprillia RSV-R (factory equivalent gen 1) which I've had for 10 months. Had various bike before - 600RRs, Hayabusa, GSXR600 and many more. So I grew bored of the Aprillia RSV-R and wanted an IL4 again but this time a litre jobbie. So I started the search and found a minter. It's not usual that I'm this confident about buying a second hand bike buuuut... 57 plate, 1700 miles, one owner, serviced every year by Honda with all receipts, every MOT cert etc etc. oh, and its got an Akrapovic can, HRC tinted screen and HRC seat hump... Plus all the original stuff!!!

    Anyway, enough chat... I should get it soonish, sorting out delivery tomorrow... Any comments or tips are most welcome!

    Yeah, no kidding! Got out on the RSVR last week but the Pirelli Rosso corsas are horrendous on a v twin when it's cold IMO! Lol! Hope the weather clears up for when the arrives!

    Welcome Fezza! Gorgeous bike you've got there, still reckon it knocks spots off the latest shape. Really tasty colours.

    That's the one mate! Had to move fairly quickly as most the same age and colour have 11k+ miles on them for the same price. Absolutely loving the look of it , can't wait to get it :)

    Had a choice between this and an 08 HRC blade but I really like these with the under seat exhaust. Plus if its similar to my old cbr600rr but with more power ill be a happy happy bunny!

    Hello matey... fairly sure that bike was for sale when I was looking (about 14 months ago)... cant be many others with a mileage that low... I ended up buying a 07 HRC nearer to home, but with 3500 miles on it... lovely, lovely bikes!
