My Buddy's New Toy
 

This is a buddy of mine's new bike. He rode a '98 or '99 GSX-R 750 for a couple of years, sold it about two months ago, and picked up his new Aprillia a couple weeks ago. He already has a Power Commander, rear set, and exhaust on order for it.

Badass bike...Itallian = expensive!

Re: My Buddy's New Toy
 

Yeah, I believe he said it retails for 19K.

Re: My Buddy's New Toy
 

Wow...that's a really nice bike. I like the carbon Fiber on it also. Nineteen Thousand huh? Just as expensive as a Neon Srt-4, but twice as quick...:D.

Re: My Buddy's New Toy
 

I was going to ask how much he paid. But 19K to rich for my blood. I don't know why I thought Aprilla's where cheaper then yamaha or Suzuki

Re: My Buddy's New Toy
 

Damn that thing looks sweat, I like how that looks more than JETs new GSX-R100 even. Probably not near as fast though, well I guarantee that. Not worth the price though to me.

CRAIG

Re: My Buddy's New Toy
 

I like those. When I can afford one, and am more comfortable riding, I will have one.

Not much for the digital speedo though.

Re: My Buddy's New Toy
 

Digital speedos and tachs suck...

Re: My Buddy's New Toy
 

I don't know about that, haven't compared the specs of each bike to one another.

Re: My Buddy's New Toy
 

He didn't pay 19K, keyword: retails. :D

<-------Jelous. heh

Re: My Buddy's New Toy
 

Yeah, that bike isn't in the same category as the 4 cyl liter bikes for HP (38 hp less and 60 lbs heavier). Twins sound pretty cool though. I have always had a soft spot for Aprilia's too, but blue wheels? That is a sweet bike though. Gotta love the Mille R's, stock ohlins suspension is cool shit. I believe it has magnesium wheels too. The tail looks pretty sweet too. Is it a hold over model? It isn't the current color scheme.

For you other guys, basically all the new bikes have digital speedo's. Mine does too, but I have a gear indicator too. That is pretty sweet.

Re: My Buddy's New Toy
 

Whee!! Double post, doh!

Re: My Buddy's New Toy
 

A gear indicator would be nice to have. Half the time I don't remember where I am in the gearing. I just go by the tach.

BTW, Jet, what rpm do you usually cruise at? Just curious.

Re: My Buddy's New Toy
 

It is a brand new '04 model.

Re: My Buddy's New Toy
 

Holy shit, that's nice!

Re: My Buddy's New Toy
 

I can answer that for him. Its around 13.5k in sixth gear.;)

Re: My Buddy's New Toy
 

Naw, I usually cruise at 5k or so. I did get it up to 9k in 6th last weekend though (140), but I backed off because I was trying not to go over 8k rpms. 200 more miles!
