Pretty darn nice example of an RS on EBAY right now fish?? They don't go cheap though.

Also have access to a 2001 Diablo with a Motec 316cc kit installed. Again not cheap though. 10K

You can get excellent deals on used Aprilias. I don't know why more people don't know about the brand?
They used to be a no-no in Canada?

Got an 03 Colin Edwards Replica with all the trimmings and then some, this is a great bike to ride and the faster the better as it is a bit of a hand full 120kmh's and above is when this bike starts to make sense.
Rock solid chassis and incredible suspension/brakes but a real tyre eater particularly the rear it just rips them to shreads. Mods so far are a custom set of WSB pipes with a set of Volta Moto WSB rear sets and RP shift 2" higher 2" back, New volt ignition, PC111, Evo Race air box, Billet inlet trumpets, Adjustable fuel regulator, Evo billet clutch master cylinder, I stripped the bike then had the entire fairing Clear coated what a job!
Don't ride it that much only 8k in three years but if I sold it a very rare animal. I was lucky to have the bike signed by Colin Edwards when he was out here as well as a long talk with him a really friendly funny guy.
I often wonder why I bought the bike then go for a blast and all my doubts are answered not as viseral as my trick 10R but it has a feeling that Jap bikes just can't manage yet and thats the appeal. (If I knew how to post a pic I would.)

Where are these deals!? The only Aprilia deals I've found in FL is the OTD price at the stealership, someone must be hiding the bikes around here

Everytime I ride mine and let it sing its song, I realize that'll be one of the last bike I'd sell.
I've got mine derestricted and the 'open' airbox.
The sound of an Ape at full honk is VIAGRA!
