Sold it to a friend as I needed the money when we moved into our house just in case.. Money was fine in the end so had no need to sell it but this is easing the pain a bit..

Rumbles just a little bit when you rev it 
Everyone who has a V-twin seems to rate it, I love the sound admittedly

The can I've put on is stupidly loud, will see what its like on the road and decide whether the baffle is going back in.. 
I'm not sure whether I like the v twin noise or not, always liked bikes that scream so 11k just doesnt seam much now..

I had a CBR 600 for my first, was briloliant for getting the hang of decent power etc.. Ive only had my license since last august so going to have to take it easy on this as its a fair jump from what I'm used to. Went for a thousand as I felt too big for a 600, feel much comfier with the size of this.

Been looking at the kawasaki z750's, and hornet 600's. Like the look of the naked bikes more than the faired ones

Ahh well, every bike has its bad points.
I suppose flapping off the back like a flag is one of them

My mate had a 600 bandit and he hated it on motorways and at speed, felt like he was hanging onto the thing.

Great choice, best 1000cc vtwin out there! Im an aprilia factory trained technician so im a bit biassed but i think the RSV is the best bike money can buy lol.
diablo corsas, akrapovic can with sbk titanium chip. Renegade airbox mod and iridium plugs will transform the bike!

wind blast at over 80 gets bad, youll hang on for dear life. on a long journey your likely to end up looking like pop eye

Counter goes to 12k so I'm guessing it will limit at about 11k.
Not been on it yet, my mate picked it up for me..
