“Tour de Garages” – Post 5: The Sexy Aprilia
This is the 2004 Aprilia RSVR Factory 1000 (“The Mille was the
previous model in North America and Europe but,” according to the owner, “may
still have been called the Mille in Australia.”) Ken bought this bike on EBay.
The
Aprilia goes from 0 to 60 in less than 3 seconds (if you're so inclined!) According to Ken, nobody can
beat the Italians for motorcycle design and I’d have to agree. This bike has some
of the sexiest tail lights and pipes I’ve ever seen on the ass end of a sport bike. I suppose they designed it this way on purpose ... that's about all most people get to see.
Unfortunately I've only lusted after them...
ReplyDeleteI know what the next pic is too...
Andrew I think you may have a little thing for the Italians as well ... The Aprilia is a beaut! Too bad my legs are too short to even think about it.
DeleteKaren, I know next to nothing about motorcycles, so Google is my only hope. My guess is that the mystery bike is a 1997 or 1998 Ducati Super Sport 900.
ReplyDeleteDavid, you must be a keen observer ... a real close guess. Well done moto-sleuth.
