Um, no thanks. I wanted an Aprillia so bad I could taste it but I just couldn't bring myself to pay $6000 more for a less capable bike.
true story. At least the new rsv4 is offering an engine configuration unavailable anywhere else for a similar price.

True and a V-4 does interest my nostalgic side... I loved my V-Max! Still, the price tag throws me off. Sure, it's great to own a bike that hardly anyone else has, heck that's part of the reason I bought my'97 YZF1000 when it came out. No body had one but me at the time. I almost bought a GTS1000 in stead of my '95 FZR1000 for the same reason. You know, I love Raisin Bran. To me this would be like buying Kelloggs just to say I bought brand name even though I know that Great Value costs half as much and has more raisins.
