Fluorescent lights are notoriously difficult to photgraph things under. Especially as one tube can have a different spectral response to another. Looks like the editing software has coped pretty well with the whole bike pics, but has gone a tad yellow on the close-ups. Still looks bloody good though.

Yep, the cast looks good and suits the pics, wasn't sure if it was deliberate (with a filter) or how it came out the camera

I approve of this post.

Question, what's that thing just behind the swingarm pivot? Looks... blue-ish?

I think it might be the APHI device (Aprilia Patented Handling Inhibitor).
They fitted them to give other bikes a chance to keep up. Not sure it worked.

Excellent angles and depth of field, good location to, makes a difference to all the 'driveway' shoots of which we are all guilty off!!

You also ought to try taking them at 1600 or 3200 ISO if you have a DSLR, the 'noise' actually adds to the feel of the thing especially if it is low light/stormy

Nice pics

Well chosen location and great photos of a really nice looking bike.

Just about sums it up
