Too bad we"ll never see it here. :nonod:

They told me it will be available in the U.S. next spring/summer.

Not for me.

I'm in love. http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m95/markgraves138/borat.jpg

When you said you got it I thought you meant like to your door.

No, I meant I got the information from a friend at Aprilia USA. I wish I really got it...I'd be out riding instead of sitting on my ass typing all day.

That thing looks awesome. Looks to be a true contender for the Ducati Hypermotard.

I like it. looks mean as hell, and probably sounds like it too. could be pretty practical for daily riding to me. I volunteer to test its day to day dependability.

If it's built like my last Aprilia, reliability won't be an issue. I put 36K on that thing and never even had to adjust the valves...just change oil, tires and brake pads.

I would kill for that bike.

Nice. Whats the weight on it?

it looks like a copy of the hypermotard, i hate that duck bill front fender :motz:

Nice as$ bike! But not my style! My brother and uncle ride bmw dual sports, but they feel to light, to high, and to skinny for me! But they are great for (uh oh) wheelies! So I ride theirs every once in a while.

he said wheelie, get him !!! i kid i kid, never touched the stuff in my life, i swear.......

he said wheelie, get him !!! i kid i kid, never touched the stuff in my life, i swear....... haha! yeah, i know, i have a buddy who's ben riding for 8 years and wrecks once a year, last year it was doing a wheelie over a bridge at like 70!

Sweet. Looks like its based on the Shiver. I like.

NICE... just not my style...

Nice. Whats the weight on it? :yup: it looks like a copy of the hypermotard, i hate that duck bill front fender :motz: :withstupi he said wheelie, get him !!! i kid i kid, never touched the stuff in my life, i swear....... BS... I've seen it happen.

maybe a bit cleaner looking than the hypermotard? might be the white
