Massive fan of the current WSBK Aprilia scheme as well. They look f**king horn....!!!

Excuse my ignorance. Have you ridden this one ?
Thanks mate! Yep, after 20 years, I finally understand that cleaning can be important/useful/satisfying. Who said anything about an old dog...

I did 5 laps on this one at the most recent ARDC day that you were at too (it had road fairings on it). Then Spilly did a session on it. It goes great! Better than my racebike went before it got tweaked and dialled in. This one is accompanying me to the Island as a catastrophic-emergency-only spare. Not a wet bike or anything. It's not even lockwired yet!

I was just keen to finally snap some pictures of the new paint scheme. I haven't done a for-sale write up yet.
