I think I read somewhere about 14K, I could be mistaken mind 

Thats cheaper than I thought.

Is it worth 5k more than a new blade though?

Is it worth 5k more than a new blade though?

depends on how it rides I suppose, IF what has been on t'internet is to be believed its got pretty high spec components and 3 million HP.

they are also apparently releasing a Tuono version, that would be interesting

will there be 2 versions like the RSV and factory models?

Looks like a blade to me and thats no compliment. Still nice to have another choice of engine

Oh dear...that seat unit looks..well ..er..wank, infact the whole bike looks a bit of a disappointment.

Ok so the spec is something else, but talking about a 10 pinter.......it will probably be a fantastic ride and have you shooting a bucket full off in no time...but would you want to wake up next to it next morning... i don't think  so either.

It's only the internet.

I like the looks of it, i have funny taste though.

I just don't know where they get these price tags from.

Just cos its italian?

Better to have a bad day on the bike,than a good day at work.........

Oi loikes it.

'Cept for the tail unit.

you lot fucking make me laugh, at the bottom of the artical you will find the following

So, got any more info?

We've spoken to Aprilia UK and they've clarified that you'll be able to adjust the engine position, swingarm pivot point and also the headstock angle. There's also adjustable mapping and variuable intake trumpets.

The standard spec RSV4 will be available at the end of this year and will cost around £12,000. The Factory version will cost around £14,000 and will be available around April 2009.

hehehehehe

Luvverly.

Now where am I going to get the money from?

98% of the time I'm right. Why worry about the other 3%.

What I don't get is that the new Japanese 600s / 1000s that are reinvented top to bottom every other year are always he same price (give or take a couple of hundred) - they all seem to be priced (RRP anyway) around £7000 (600s) or £9000 (1000s) and have been for years.

Maybe £14,000 is what the prices should be

Did you ever hear anyone say “That picture had better be banned, because I might look at it and it might be very damaging to me”

Good point Loon.

You could defend the price slightly by pointing out that the "quality" euro bikes have Brembo equipment, decent showa / WP or ohlins suspension. If you upgrade the jap OE stuff it's not cheap.

My bike wasn't cheap, but I've not had to add anything (akros excluded).

I guess the bottom line is, as long as people stump up the cash, they will charge premium rate.
