Featured Everyone Loves Banging Twins

Here's my summer only ride, it's a 2000 model that I have owned since 2006. I have modified lots on the bike.
Re-worked forks, Nitron rear shock and different linkage. Ohlins steering damper, open air box mod, K&N, PC3, Sato rearsets (makes the back brake work properly)
I've done a bunch of trackdays on it, also lived in the IOM for a couple of years, so it got some 'hard' miles around the mountain course (like ya do)
Not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it. My neighbours... possibly not

 

That's a lovely bike Rob
Especially in that colour...BLACK
I'm jealous and wish I could still ride something like that

 

Cheers, I love it. It literally makes me laugh out loud riding it.
A bit of a killer on a long run, but I don't find it too bad. I've had it loaded up with soft panniers and tank bag etc, camping, commuting (30mins vs 45 mins in the car..) It's a keeper

 

You might find it’ll last longer if you park it at the side of the road

 

Ha! I like living dangerously. In my defence, this pic was planned carefully and taken at 0445 in the morning last June.

 

They used to have them at knockhill
I got a track day on one for my 40th birthday
Thought I was Rossi and absolutely loved it
When I seen the video of myself that a friend had made I looked like a learner on an icy day
Hell of an experience though

 

Hi Rob think you better check your highway code as you can't cross two solid white line's
Tucker.

 

Hi Rob, definitely a keeper ! Very nice pics btw

 

Ha, I've never had a lot of respect for the highway code to be fair.. I consider it 'advisory'

 

Thanks dude, I identified the spot for the pic and waited months for the right time of year/weather and the ability to get up stooped early enough to pull it off. This pic and the bike was featured in 'Performance Bikes' a couple of months ago

 

My first Aprilia was a Falco, it was a great bike, quick and versatile. Unfortunately written off by a Spaz on a roundabout...

 

I had an RST new from DK's, best of both worlds, take off the panniers and re-set the suspension both end and you have a sports bike, put panniers back on and a tourer, lovely bike, vastly underated at the time and not a big seller, less than 50 left in the UK now, loved the sound of the induction when opened up!

 

Nice bike, had a red 2003 RSV new in 03 and it was awesome, the RSV's are surprisingly good for long trips though I probably wouldn't think the same nowadays. Got a Tuono 1000 now for fun but it feels "old" in comparison to my 2017 Speed TripleR, still a fast and crazy bike though

 

A mate of mine had a Futura recently, nice bike, considered getting it from him as a 2nd bike.

 

Tuono's rock. I find my RSV ok on a long run, I'm 6' tall, so it is one of few sportsbikes that fit me well, always found Jap 4's a little small. I've had 3 Aprilia's on the trot, love em. I like the fact that they are 'different' to the herd

 

Dont consider................DO IT!

 

Ha! Money stopped me... or a lack of to be honest..And he sold it now anyway

 

Just gotta say this is the best thread title...

 

Here is a photo of one of my past bikes I loved this machine. If truth be known I fully regret selling it.
