  1. I am on my 2nd RSV4 , the 1st , a 2011 APRC had a gearbox problem , which was fixed under warranty , but it took about 3 months to get the parts required from the factory in Italy.
    My current bike is a 2015 RSV4 RF , which has been pretty reliable , only problem I have had so far was a broken electrical connection block , when I was doing a trackday in Spain last year.
    Noise wise , mine has a full Akra system , so I only do noisy trackdays in the UK, i use the DB killer at Donington , Snetterton , Cadwell and Oulton ,I do Angelsey also and dont use the DB killer there.
    I am very pleased with the bike.

  2. This is his bike from Cadwell. It's loud but there have always been bikes much louder on the 3 days we've done since he's had it.

  4. That’s the can my uncle had (the akra). He chopped (had it chopped - he’d burn the house down if you gave him a spanner) down to just past the hanger

  16. I still have my current RSV4 (3rd one) as a track bike, absolutely love them and always wanted a dedicated track bike one, only done Silverstone so far with baffle in on a Leo Vince can, no problems. Well apart from coming off and completely smashing my collarbone as well as costing £2500 to fix the bike :oops:
    Bought a 2016 factory Tuono as well last year so I have a more comfortable position when riding on the road as my shoulder is still playing up., another op soon I think. The Tuono has an Akra can on, not a lot of difference between them really. I just love the sound these things make it’s epic.

  17. they are to extreme for a lot of riders, I call it my playstation bike.
    you can always up a tooth on the front, they are pretty mental, but you will love it , think 1199 top end rush at the bottom end and you will get the idea :D

  18. Sounds hectic. I have the RRV for track work and a 939sp for road use. I like the set up I have but can’t not admire and keep hankering over an RSV4

  20. tbh, its a hilarious, amusing way to hear a moto gp soundtrack, while trying not to get caught for destroying speed limits. YOU NEED TO TRY ONE
