RSVDon

That was the old RS125. IMO, still the sexier of the two, faster, and a 2-smoke which means instantly cooler. But, didn't really fit the requirements of the demographic that would ride it. Aprilia brought these over to the US as a "track-only" bike for $5k a few years back.

Europe. A 125cc is the largest bike anyone under 18 yo can buy in Europe. Usually with the restriction of no more than 15 crank HP. So that's what Aprilia did. Took their RSV4 styling, placed it on a featherweight chassis, and gave it a 15 HP 4-stroke motor. The old bikes were 125cc 2-strokes, but they made way more than 15 HP and kinda defeated the purpose of the market they were going for.

Side note, I love drunk posting.

And conveniently trumped by a VFR 800 in almost every category except outright speed... Yeah, Honda does know their shit. Also, I know a large bear around here that rides a ZX-14. He would probably take you up on that bet that the ol' Bird can easily outhandle a 14.

EDIT: Double Post

Aprilia Futura Same level as the Sprint ST. Little heavier than a VFR. Beautiful Rotax 997cc V-twin.

Radiator does not reside behind the headlights. In fact, nothing does. This is just a bunch of retards starting at fad. Also, what does the ram air system have to do with cooling?

DING DING DING!!! WinnAr! Aisle 2.

..........wait, :gasp:....... Is it really that hard to look at the back of the car instead of the front there bucko? Your argument is completely retarded.

STFU and GTFO old man.

I've got more posts than you, ya fuckin' n00b. Delete your own damn profile or get on my level. Your choice...

Get fucked. This place is going downhill fast. I can't believe I used to hang around you fuckbags. Bunch o' squids and 'tards.

Guess what giant, flat, reflective pieces of metal are good for? Yup. Lazzzzers.

No way in hell I'm putting bigger holes in this bastard for a front plate. Georgia plates FTMFW.

Air intake thing makes no sense. There's a perfectly good tunnel right between the headlights that acutally works. lol

I see no option for Supersport or Hyperbike...

On a different note, check out the Tuono V4R. But do yourself a big ol' favor, don't watch the first almost 2 minutes. Don't say I didn't warn ya. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6hyQrD0JRU&hd=1&t=1m53s

EDIT: Fixed.

And no, I'm not missing the 'V'. Still not powerful enough to compete against the Ninja 250 (old RS125 was, but also not street legal), but a step in the right direction. A 250 version of this would be tits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-JzQFpj9fY&hd=1

I'm offended by that.

Sorry, next time I'll turn my sarcasm generator up to 11. Ya'll need a break, get laid, go ride, and stop pissing people off.
