Italian Twin, eh!?...
Gotta be a Prila matey, if only for the reliability, build quality, performance, looks, handling, uniqueness, rideability, modability...

The RSV are too shell-suity for my tastes, (Ive had mostly Kwacks in recent years; All green!), and always look a bit plasticy to me. That and they are very tall in the seat, (Im only a 5'9" short arse).
So I guess that only leaves...

Go on, you know you want to!...

Having ridden a large assortment of bikes over a few years (anyone else remember wearing Tukka boots?) I have to say that the falco has been the best, for all the reasons cited above

I too am vertically challenged - 5' 91/2" to be precise.... and it fits well.

Unlike most other bikes it looks different - I detest going to meets and parking my bike in a line of Blades, then R6's and so on - the aprilias always stand out

On new years eve i had a pleasant chat with a blade owner who rated the blade as better than any v twin.
I don't think he will forget new years day in a hurry - the sheer amount of torque amazed him, and the steering left him amazed - I think he is taking his shell suited botty off to look at a mille this week end.

(Am not saying he got nervous, but he did let go of the grab rail and put his arms around my waist - and my god I wish my wife's thighs could grip like that!)

I just did a quick check on MCN parkers price guide and your 4k would get you something very nice - and MCN do have a few listed currently

That sort of bad language is disapproved of around here.

You still got yours Viney? Thought you'd sold the one in your avatar ages ago?
