RSV 1000R (http://www.cyclefocus.com/details.aspx?adid=9848414)

my buddy has a line on one for 10,900 with zero miles, but it's a 2002 model. RSV Mille R with all the goodies. Is that a good price or is it dated??

you need to ask someone besides me on that one bro, I have no idea.

what was the price when it was new?

around 18,000 :eek:

Max,

Aprilias have very poor resale value. You can get that bike for around $7,500 if you haggle him.

Check www.apriliaforum.com and see for yourself in the classifieds.

cool turbo, I wasn't looking at buying it, I just thought it looked good, I wasn't sure about the price.

thanks for looking out thou. Jimmy was asking about a 02 whats your thoughts on it?

My friend used to have an '02. I had a chance to ride it. It was a nice ride. It felt very tall though.

how bout this turbo? is it a good deal or too high?

Yes and no.

Yes because it's a new bike and it's $4,000 less than the original MSRP.

No in the sense that it's still a 2002 and for about $3,000 more he can get a brand new '06 with the Ohlins front end.

It depends on how long he can hold out to get the other $3,000 for the '06. If he really can't afford it, then in my opinion, he's better off getting a used version of one of the newer generations for around $8,000.

Unless of course, he really loves the '02 version which in fact Haga campaigned in WSBK that year.

he was told that it had Ohlins front and back as well as the damper.

does that make the deal any sweeter??

cool, I'm sure Jimmy will tell him all of that.

thanks for the info man.

If it has full Ohlins, then it's the RSV R model (which we now know as the Factory).

That's a great deal then. The dealer has lost a lot of money having it on the floor all these years and he just wants to get rid of it.

If it was my money, depending on my circumstances, I would get it if I didn't want a Japanese bike.

I did state that it was the "R" model........now i know you don't pay attention to me......dick :rofl3:
