Hey All,
Just traded my SV650S K3 for a new RSV 1000 R Factory K4 - brand new, never had fluids or a battery, 1 mile on the odo upon delivery - still fresh enough to have not had the first service yet, but well-pleased with my decision!
So far I've learned that if I leave the ignition on for the fans and forget, I'll need a battery charger. This step had never been in my SV script, but lesson duly learned.
Also learned - must remember to ensure that the seat cowl is well and truly locked down before hitting the highway...damn
!
These minor issues aside, simply amazed at/thrilled with/pleased by the promise of the capabilities of this bike! As much of an impact as my SV had on me as my first bike, I can see another enormous leap from the SV to the Aprilia (a statement of the obvious)...a bit of throttle restraint will go a long way, but the handling inspires enough confidence to be a distraction from said restraint!
So...while this may not be the appropriate area for a 'want to buy' post, with apologies to the moderator I'll ask: 'Is there anybody with a seat cowl cover for an RSV 1000 R Factory 2004 for sale?'
Thanks!
New to Aprilia
