Very pretty but I think Marshy will still be quicker on his 2009 RSV4


Although I reckon the new bike will draw more protests than your old bike.

[Kris]

In Oz you can run whatever you want. I'll run twins with my stock bike and oz with the other. Th Vincent 1600 is custom everything so I'm not concerned about protests from fat morons like Stephen Hopper...

Half the 600 field is faster with half the horsepower. Whats your point? I built the bike for me as an interesting project. Not to have any kind of edge against or be faster than any rider.

2 posts and both useless. Do we have a troll? Welcome to the forum

[stevem]

Watching your build with interest Kris. From an engineering point of view, sensational, love it.

Cheers mate. See you at round 3

[Marshy]

Cannot wait to see/hear that thing in the flesh, Kris! And the dyno results will be fascinating!

Well done mate; it's been a long time coming, and clearly a labour of love. I tip my hat to you, sir!

[Kris]

Might be a bit longer mate, still a few trickies to sort out but we are getting there!

Its a test of patience :P

I bought this and rode it, I really really liked it!

Shame it was rainy and wet everywhere. The road is scary.

Up the Old PHwy ... by the look of it

Wow, niiiiiice!!! Very very clean.

[Marshy]

I finally finished retrofitting APRC goodness to the 09 Factory. With big thanks to Baddie for helping me swap out the whole wiring loom for a 2013 model. Now it's the complete weapon! Traction, wheelie and launch control. Shame I'm selling it.

Gyro in place:

Yeh, just had a cruisey run trying out the bike. So many cops and peanuts up there...

Marshy, all your RSV4 builds and pics drove me mental! Couldn't avoid buying my mates. Subliminal tarmactalk messaging... Hopefully catch you out at the track soon so I can pick your brain!

They are an awesome bike - you'll love it (I'm sure you already do!). Happy to share the knowledge.... just let me know what you're working on and I can assist.

Will be roadie for awhile, going to sell my R1 roadbike and keep the R1 trackie, spent too much many and have too many spares to get rid of it. I'll take both out on the 10th and 11th. Booked green on the 11th to ride the RSV4 in a more relaxed setting...

'09 Factory. Just finished fitting it with complete 2013 Aprilia Factory electronics: APRC (traction, launch and wheelie control). Annitori QS PRO quickshifter. '13 Factory ECU, '13 Factory wheels. Serviced suspension and re-sprung front and rear for my weight (90 kegs), dialled in suspension and geometry (swingarm pivot, steering head angle etc). Woodcraft clipons. GB covers. SS rearsets. Arrow exhaust. DID ERV3 520 chain and sprockets, everything new, only done 1 race weekend (St George in Feb). This is the Clubsport Unlimited bike I built to have a crack at this year's championship, but injury (on the other bike, not this one!) has ruled that out. 5k road kms, only a couple of hundred track kms. Rear V02 tyre is 5 laps old, front Dunlop also quite new. Lithium battery. Magnetic hex lockwirable sump plug. Vesrah SRJL brake pads. Smog blockoff plates. Lap timer bracket. R&G carbon tank sliders. All lockwired. Carbon fibre frame covers should be here any day now. This was going to be my No.1 bike, so spared no expense. $13,900.

Forgot to mention the BMC race air filter. There's probably more stuff too.

wow what a bike. Was it a real bitch to fit all the APRC gear? i cant imagine it would be cheap...unless you pinched it off another bike?

[WRCPUG]

btw marshy i'm curious how many RSV4's have you owned?

[Kimbo]

Unpacked more goodies for my RSV4

[Marshy]

The advantage of having a shed full of the same model bikes, plus building them up from a bare frame or a bare motor, is that you end up with a lot of spares. So it hasn't cost me an absolute fortune (although it's not cheep cheep either) because I've either already had or sourced cheaply many of the more expensive components. That said, there's still a fair list of bits I've bought new (or if I'm totally honest, some I have 'borrowed' off one of the other bikes until the new parts arrive). Anecdotally, it usually costs ~$1k to $1.5k to retrofit, but it depends also on whether your 09/10 dash is the old or the new version. Mine was the new version (meaning I didn't need to buy a dash too), but Breesey's was the old version. If it's got a sidestand light, it's the old one....

btw marshy i'm curious how many RSV4's have you owned?

I've lost count.... there are 4 in the workshop right now, but 2 of those have just been sold. I've built 3 or 4 others that have previously been sold. That's in the past 18 months. But mostly they are build projects, not my toys.

im the same Nick but with rather cheaper R6 bikes lots of spares and all compatible

[Kimbo]

Just some crash protection , fuel cap, and a cheapy exhaust to go on spare bike,

interesting mate thanks for the info. Something i may consider one day is retrofitting the APRC but i think ill just focus on getting as quick as i can on a stock bike before i start to rely on modifications and TC. Would be nice though.

wow so many temperamental Italians....good to know theres an expert out there like you though

[WRCPUG]

nice...how much was the cheapy exhaust?

[WRCPUG]

This shiny new radiator finally arrived today....i hate spending money on standard replacement parts when i would rather be spending it on go fast or look good bits but ahh well.
Now i can finally start putting my RSV4 back together as this has been holding me up.

$150.00 us plus postage, cheapest I could find anywhere. Danmoto

[Linden]

And me with small Ducati Monsters got to be 8 or 9 down in the workshop at the moment more than 1/2 in bits (if you count the 160,000km motors and the SRO frames - probably only 6 front ends however )

[Kimbo]

Hey Marshy, got any RSV4 fairings in stock.

[WRCPUG]

Are any of you RSV4 ppl able to help by taking some photos of their bikes (without fairings) if its not too much trouble or if you have those photos on file.

I just mounted a new radiator and need to make sure i routed all the cables correctly as and if the clearance from the throttle demand unit and radiator is correct.


Ive attached some photos of the angles i'm after. Thanks guys
