Used Test: Aprilia RSV-R
By Bertie Simmonds on 10/04/2008 19:28:42
The original Ducati spoiler is more practical and arguably more exotic too. Plus the spec'd up 'R' version can be had on the used market for as little as £3,000. But beware, she has a few issues up her skirt.
on in 1999, but they got it right first time. The RSV-R appeared a year later. It was capable of giving anything a run for its money on a race track but it's comfy on the road and doesn't have any major reliability issues either. The 1,000cc RSV-R is the mid

By Roland Brown on 20/09/2010 21:15:07
Better-looking than the concept bike that spawned it, Guzzi's bruiser is sportier than you'd think - so much so that our man nearly had a 'wardrobe malfunction'.
, which is the same 1064cc air-cooled unit that appeared in the Breva V1100 earlier this year. In familiar Guzzi fashion it's a 90-degree V-twin with two valves per pot and pushrod operation. But it also incorporates twin-plug heads, redesigned lubrication

For 30 years the Moto Guzzi California has always been the cornerstone of the Guzzi range. The 'Cali' has survived by doing what it does best: laid-back, cruising in the finest American tradition
revs and 74bhp twangs you towards the horizon without hesitation. It's torquey too. You can pull 40mph in top (five gears on the Calis, unlike the V11's six) at a shade over 2,000rpm and it would soon punt you up to speed, albeit with a fairly swift
