This is turning into a version of Scottie-Doc-attie.
Watch your mouth bergs. I know you ain't got no banhammer.

Orly?
You're right but I know people.

:dreaming:
If you want a great bike with the lowest MSRP, go with the R1.
If you want to pay a little more for state of the art technology, a better warranty, and almost certainly better resale value, go with the BMW.
If you want a bike that never made it out of the showroom with its original motor and still cost thousands more than the other two bikes, go with the Aprilia.

People almost invariably arrive at their beliefs not on the basis of proof but on the basis of what they find attractive.

Brandon, you were a great teacher
It's great that they offer a 3 year warranty, but you'll need nothing petty like that with an R1
I love the looks of the RSV4 but it seems to be following the footsteps of the SXV as far as engine reliabilty...from what i've read anyways
Yamaha
I vote R-1 because I would not want to rent a bike that already has engine recalls on it. If you're going to do an Ape, you need to do a 2011 model year.
That's the kicker... my heart pines for an RSV4R, I don't think there's a better looking bike made right now (at least not in major production). What I CAN say is, with the way they've handled the engine issues and a dealer such as Seacoast... it makes the whole reliability thing somewhat of a non-issue.

BMW.
Got a hookup for me bud?
It's really hard to say no to that bit 'o kit.

No I got nuthin. The bike, to me, seems like a good deal though. I guess the nice thing is you can get a test ride on the BMW or the Aprilia before you buy. Fuck Yamaha.
Oh I'm sure I can swing a leg over an R1 too. I'll probably try and ride em all, but that means waiting till spring, which means less deals to be had.

Funny how the R1, a much less "exotic" bike is trouncing the RSV4 in the poll....
CCS/LRRS #83
I voted for the RSV4 because I figure i will never be able to ride one otherwise, just make sure it doesn't have a data logger so I won't be disheartend by my 17% throttle input.
Hmm a dead heat between the R1 and Ape with the ladies...
CCS/LRRS #83
Yeah, okay.
The so-called "reliability issue" is the exact opposite...like Scottie said, a non-issue. It wasn't even the whole engine, just one component. But this was already discussed in its own thread.
And as for the price? Go ahead and show me an S1000RR that you'll be able to buy for MSRP. All of the "loaded" ones I've seen cost more than the RSV4R.
But take what you want. I'd rather be the only guy on the block with an RSV4 as opposed to the dozen R1s around the corner.
What about the BMW s1000rr
In fact I will book the first rental day right NOW!
Fuck I'd have to vote Ape. She had me at Megan Fox.

Hey Scottie...beware...once you spend some time on a liter bike (regardless of brand) nothing else will do...BIG HP = BIG FUN = BIG SMILES(you know how much i love my 1000)

Hey-hey-hey, the rental was my idea, I get first dibs! Back off Ted!
Maybe some rearsets can convince me to share...
Scott, just get the R1. Rsv4's are for fags.
By the way, I might be frequenting P-Town a little more this year...(hint, hint)
Deff the rsv!! with all them girls!
