Thought i would come on and induce my self here kwacky has put a ride out up on another forum and all being well i will be attending.
Just got back into bikes after a couple of years off so I'm a little rusty. Got my self a black bird last November for touring with the Mrs done a couple of short trips. Then a couple of weeks ago I got a rsv1000 for the twisty stuff and a few trackdays.

Nice choice (not that I'm biased or anything)

If you ask D6Nutz nicely he'll show you what he's done to his.

That RSV looks sweet. Factory model too. Has it been 'Griffed'?

Full body kit
Levers
Uprated clutch slave
Aprilia performance rear sets
Cored and decatted cans
Dropped the gearing
Proper suspension setup
I've spent far too much on it, but I've still got some to spend. I'd love to get some of the blue oz wheels. They do look good on the bike and quite a bit lighter than the brembo's on mine.

Well worth the trip to aprilia performance for a checkup. Griff is an absolute legend.
