Popped into John Carr M/cycles in Alfreton, Derbyshire today to have a look at the RSV4 in the flesh.
It is TINY - I've seen bigger 125s! I spoke to John and he said 'have a sit on it if you want'. Well, I didn't need asking twice... It actually feels a very natural riding position, but I did notice how firm the suspension was (minimal movement when bouncing my arse on the seat) and John confirmed that it's really set up for the track.
Lovely bike though, and they've taken off the fugly zorst and put a really neat (and loud) carbon can on it. Hugely impractical, but if you can afford it I'm sure you wouldn't care less...
