I didn't realise a word could bring so much joy :-)
I did a deal with Paul, hopefully some goodies will be with me soon. Thanks for taking the time to listen to my inane ramblings today |

I thought I'd just bump this one back up just in-case anyone's interested on what I decided to do with my Haga rep.
After a (lengthy) chat to Griff to discuss my options, he helped me decide to keep the old girl and just spend a few quid on her. This resulted in having 57mm T/B kit, Power Commander, re-map, new c and s at recommended gearing (forget what it was of the top of my head), some rather tasty AP rear sets, uprated starter solenoid plus full service, set-up and dyno. So am I pleased with the results? Absolutely 100%. Griff and his team did an amazing job of breathing new life in to my old girl, she feels like a different bike. The fuelling especially is spot on, I can now ride in town smoothly, when I feel the urge to twist the throttle she just takes off....and just to top the lot, I'm getting much improved fuel consumption, all this on a great handling and relatively comfortable sports bike, what more could I ask. I can't imagine that I'd ever sell her. Massive thanks to the team at Aprilia Performance, from what I understand it wasn't the simplest of tasks on my somewhat corroded bike, but you'll be seeing my bike again for its next service.

Having done what you were thinking of, I would say just invest in the Gen 1!! In all honesty, the Gen 2 is a "better" bike, faster, stunning to look at and handles sublimley BUT........and it's a big BUT, for the roads, there's little real world difference. A good rider on a Gen 1 will keep up with a good rider on a gen 2 bud

Having owned both, I would happily go back to a Gen 1 again. Mine was rear ended in a pileup so now have a 2008 gen 2 but it just isn't the same. Maybe its because my gen 1 was my V twin cherry breaker but I still miss her.
