    RSV4. Sounds like sex.

    Rc8. For looks and because nobody has one. Being unique is worth it and those bikes are sexy. I would actually get the Rc8r if I had the choice.

    Re: RC8 or RSV4

    A few people on the board have test ridden the RC8, maybe they would be so kind as to share the experience. I recall there was not great feedback on it...

    I would be all over the RSV4.

    Re: RC8 or RSV4

    The BMW is hard to argue with in the performance area. That thing is a missile with lean angle sensitive traction control. Cheater bike!

    As far as the other 2, I think the Aprilia is technologically superior, but I really like the look of the RC8R. I did a session on one in Jersey and liked it more than most of these other jokers around here.

    I wouldn't buy any of them, though, so take it with a grain of salt.

    RSV4 on looks and sound!! That thing with a GP can sounds like sex. And no one has them around here either. And if you got the cake to spend on the RSV4 Factory, its infinitely adjustable geometry and suspension is amazing!!
