2007 Aprilia RSV-R Factory
Also part of their lineup announcement recently... the new paint schemes for the RSV-R Factory.
More proof that Liberace lives, and he works at Aprilia. I really, really, really, want them to go back to the minimalist pain schemes of the 04/05 years. I mean, this is their top end machine. |

Re: 2007 Aprilia RSV-R Factory
I like gold on bikes more than you, and even I think that is incredibly tacky.

Re: 2007 Aprilia RSV-R Factory
I saw one of these at the dealer today, and I must say that the pictures don't do it justice.
It's even more hideous in person. The gold frame is a completely different gold than that on the forks and wheels! Huh? What were they thinking? It looks awful. I like the bike other than that nasty looking gold frame. Horrible. |

Re: 2007 Aprilia RSV-R Factory
I actually don't mind it. It certainly is different from all the other frame colours out there - and from a grp that generally hates polished/chrome frames (myself included) a duller gold I thought would be less offensive?
The red white bits remind me too much of Yammy bikes tho

Re: 2007 Aprilia RSV-R Factory
See it in person. The gold on the frame versus the gold on the wheels and forks isn't remotely close. A real head scratcher. Either make it the same or make them completely different colors. It just looks wacky. Otherwise a really nice bike with lots of trick bits.

Re: 2007 Aprilia RSV-R Factory
Do the front and rear wheels really have those different spoke patterns?

Re: 2007 Aprilia RSV-R Factory
The RSV Factory is very unappealing in person, but it looks great next to this year's Tuono..
![]() Interestingly, nearly every component looks great by itself, and the welds and build quality are obviously very good. The package could benefit with a can of flat black krylon, though.

Re: 2007 Aprilia RSV-R Factory
Just great! So now what do I do...? Either search for a case of Krylon or try to find an aftermarket source for candleabra mounts?

Re: 2007 Aprilia RSV-R Factory
This is so sad.
The all black carbon-fiber Factory was sooooo pretty. I seriously considered Aprilla when I got the blade. You can't move the rear-sets back without changing the pipe, so that shot it down for me.
