Panigale Recall

"If the linkage detaches from the swingarm because of the missing crew (sic), the NHTSA states a “catastrophic suspension collapse would occur and adversely affect the ability to safely handle the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash"

Wow!

Now Ed, maybe I missed it somewhere...but when'd you develop a hard-on for the 1199 hate?

I have no desire for one...but man...you just seem to HATE em:tremble:

What's up with all these recalls ?? First s1000rr now panegale, aren't they testing the freaking thing before release?

just happened on a bunch of pan. "hate' yest., lol

No telling, seems like they are just rushing them out the door without any real destructive testing.

Although I'm a closet ape fan I feel I should add in the bad batch of conrods Aprilia had to recall in the rsv4rs prior to launch

since when? I thought you have been pretty out in the open on that one.

Well that's true but I don't own one yet. Lol.

Work desktop is def Edwards rs3 cube though. Lol

Got my eye on a low miles factory if the nsx goes soon...

sexy bitch

Check out www.www.apriliaforum.com when you get serious

Ubrit. Apes have horrible resale

I've been all over the af classifieds :lol: haven't seen any better deals lately

just searched A/F for 2008's, the last few have sold for $7000-7500, one even sold around $6500

use www.searchtempest.com to look for a bike too.

Were those factories or rsvrs? And how do you think I found a bike in albany lol

Sexy time....

I always liked the lion paintjob.

Check the tank on the one I posted

Please tell me you're letting Z teach those kids how to write. Do you try to post like you don't have a single brain wave, or does it just come naturally?

I saw one factory and it was 8900 and in worse shape

nice...

i had an 04, but you need to be a big dude to enjoy those bikes.....they're heavy, not very flickable, and the tank is wide and tall......the ridge on the tank is almost useless because of how high it is

the sound, paint, and gauges are awesome though

I'm six foot and wide. Lol

screw the RSV get a Tuono

http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/s...-North-Georgia

kinda high on price, but its basically a new bike

http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/s...79-miles-on-it

Nah if I settle for a tuono it'll be a first Gen. Later ones are fugly

"settle" you do know a RSVR and Tuono are the same mechanically? just mnus fairings

and a "factory" T also has all the ohlins bits, C/F and wheels

Yes settle, and I know good and damned well what it is.

here's one

http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/s...NY-4100mi-8000

'07 w/ 4100mi $8k, not a factory, but has ohlins ft "Looking for a clean quick sale."

there is a diff between '07 and '07.5, hp wise. so if you find an '07, find out if it was early or late prod.

Yup saw it last night, clean. Did the later R's get the same wheels as the factories? Sounds like the only difference in later models was steering damper, rear shock, and tire height?

i didn't research RSVRs much

but i doubt the later R's w/ the ohlins ft got the forged wheels like on the factories. thats a pricey "add-on"

http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/s...low-miles-7500

i can prob. take a look at this one if you're serious, though i am trying to steal the damper

She's a beaut but the kid is still waiting on cash to clear for the nsx

Glad i didnt run out and get my Panagale like i wanted to. Hopefully wont be any problems next year when i go to get mine!
