RSV4-RF v R1-M

Post by duke63 »

I like these two discussing bikes. More of the stuff the ordinary man would like to know plus stuff we will never know. :D

I don't really go for the looks of either.

Would be good to try them though.

I'll get to try the R1-M next year , my son has bought one.

The Aprilia is better looking imo .

Shame about the Aprilia paint though. It ranks amongst the worst designs ever IMHO.

44 Teeth do some really good reviews. But I have to disagree with some of you I love the look of both, Love the tail fairing of the R1 in my opinion

Rsv looks good but not in that particular colour scheme.

My favourite is the 2014 bike 8)

That black looks fantastic... I can do gold wheels.. actually don't like gold on anything... but that's just a personal choice obviously

The R1 doesn't look as well finished as the RSV up close.. I saw an R1M up close just after they came out but I have to say it is not that high quality in some areas.

Having said that I would still very much like to try one. Sitting on the stock R1 in a show room it felt uncomfortable with a massive seat to park your bottom on and it was digging into my standing leg.
