Hi people.
 
Picking up my new RSV4 Factory on Saturday. Cant ride it on the road until 1st March, but that gives me a week to drool over it and stroke it in the garage.
 
I rode a 2012 Factory for a session at Portimao in October last year and that was that. The 2012 ZZR1400 has been sold, the GSXR1000K8 has been sold. The wife's BMW has been downsized to a Peugeot 107 (same colour so she has not noticed) and my first ever Italian stallion is on its way.
 
As a complete newbie to Aprilia's I would be grateful for any wisdom built up from years of joy/frustration.
 
The bike will be used on the road and I have committed myself to leaving it standard for at least the first year. Its main use will be for the dozen or so track days I do each year. I expect it to be down on power to the K8 (173 bhp) but corner entry, mid corner and corner exit should more than make up for that. Hopefully the electronics will help to stop me lobbing it into the scenery as I have done with my last 2 GSXR's.
 
I look forward to getting out and about next weekend. Roll on summer.

The only advice I can give you is be careful when strapping it down in the back of a van so it doesn't fall over and break things and don't scratch the fairing with a big screwdriver!

Oh no! ..........that's just my bike you did that too......you tit!!!

Here is a video from Motorland, Aragon 2010. This was my first track day on my GSXR1000K8. I am taking the RSV4 there in 7 weeks time for its first track day. It will be interesting to compare the lap time data from both sessions. Having cost £10k more I am really hoping the RSV4 is quicker !

For once she was not the star of the show when we parked up.

That one is the 1199 Panigale R, which at £26k makes my Factory look like a bargain.

Vid looks good fella,that 1199r looks good but no different to a std 1199 looks wise yr v4 is not a 10k lesser machine tho is it,it will run rings round that.
I quite often see a guy with a 1199s at snetterton n he struggles to ride it too even his limit as it wants to buck him off all the time
