Item Description: I purchased this bike in November from Mountain Motorsports in Acworth/Kennesaw. I've put a couple thousand miles on it since then and I have decided that I want a full street/sport bike. I have been commuting and weekend riding on it. It's very comfortable and the Two Brothers pipe sounds great. It's got plenty of power. I believe that the PC V is tuned for the exhaust and for what I use it for. 7,000+ RPMs with the V-tech really zings while lower RPMs have a lot of torque but is an easier ride for commuting. It's got just under 30,000 miles but I ride it frequently. It also has a Corbin seat. It's also one of the few bikes that comes from the factory with a single sided swing arm.

Here's a video so you can hear it. This was a "cold" start. You can see it was 55* in the garage so it wasn't really cold but it hadn't been started in at least 3 days. If you're not familiar with the V4's they sound nearly as good as a twin but can rev like an in line 4 especially after the vtech kicks in.

I am interested specifically in a Honda RC51 or an Aprilia RSV. I am open to other trade offers including a bass boat... but if it's not an RC51 or an Ape, I will probably decline. Cash is King.

Sweet, I miss my 2001 model

I actually like this bike a lot more than I thought I would. Then I took it down a windy back road and realized that it's not an RC51....

 

[Dallasdave]

Your right, the low end isn't there like the v twin but these are great for open roads

I think it's got almost if not just as much power as the RC. It just doesn't have the handles. Which it's not supposed to.

Its no where near the power of a RC51. The RC has twice as much torque and about 30 more HP. The VFR is a good commuter bike, comfortable for longer rides, still able to handle some back roads. I know a guy that had one that could push it to keep up with some sportbike riders, but it is limited in its handling and the ergos aren't conducive for cornering compared to a sportbike.

Right. I guess it's been a 3 or 4 years since I had my last RC. The VFR has enough power. I don't remember the RC going very much quicker than this one can go in a straight line.

Not to sway your opinion in your for sale ad but have you looking into Aprillia in Georgia? There is no dealer support at all except one dealership in Savannah who has one technician trained to work on the Aprillia platform. Took a bike in for a valve check, he got sick while the bike was torn down and it took a total of 3 weeks, almost 4 to put the bike back together because no one else in the building knew how. Most people I know in Atlanta have gotten away from Aprillia and gone to Ducati, BMW and other manufacturers that weren't such a hassle to get parts and service.

Thanks for looking out. I have a guy who used to service Apes. I can see how it might take a while to get it back but he can do it at least.
