Akrapovic Bolt-on / Slip-on line Open Exhaust - Aprilia RSV 1000

Advantages: excellent torque and performance and excellent chassis
Disadvantages: riding position can be a strain after a fir bit of miles on a trip

.... In fact my dad rides a Suzuki GSXR-1000 K2 and he went out and bought an Akrapovic straight after he heard the difference between the stock exhaust on mine and then the aftermarket Akrapovic exhaust... Since I have bought my Kawasaki I have added a steering dampener, braided front back brake lines, Akrapovic Exhaust, smaller number plate and smaller indicators.

The first Gixer 750 was released in 1985 and has undergone periodical changes since then. THE LOOK As in the picture above I purchased mine in the typical blue and white Gixer colours. In standard form the bike is aesthetically pleasing and ultra... Read review

...my dad has the RSV mille R, it is the full on race bike with the added extra with indicators! the bike looks amazing and sounds like no other bike! i have the replica 50cc of this bike and it basically shits all over mine! This baby does 180mph, it is a beast, the twin exhuast and amazing look of this bike is great. although i have never been able to ride it or even on the back as my dad chose the option not to have the passenger seat, so that the bike keeps its sportyness. This may not be as fast as say a GSX1300R but it still is amazing, plus its not Japanese! :)... Read review
