General Banter / 2011 Aprilia Tuono V4R
« on: November 01, 2010, 11:42:23 AM »
Aprilia's naked version of the RSV4. Basically an RSV4 with no fairings and a handlebar

I agree on the invite only, if its invite only, just send people a pm or email, no sense posting it.

I think its coming to the US for 2011, if you go out to the US Honda web site, they list it as one of the models, but no pricing yet.

They wanted to use KTM's, but KTM wouldn't support them, they didn't think they could make it.

Agreed, they overloaded the bikes with too much video equipment, and that first gen ABS on the BMW's sucked, because if it goes south, you lose the brakes. The new gen 2 abs is just like the rest, if it goes out, you just lose ABS, not your whole braking system.

Yeah, but he's talking about riding in Mexico (I'm assuming Copper Canyon) and you are in no man's land there

You can use the rods along with the hose clamps to brace things that get broken or cracked, kind of like a splint

When riding in those remote locations, you'll want to take things like JBweld, radiator hose repair tape, liquid tape, tire plugs and patches, spoons for changing tires, basic tools to repair your bike, hose clamps, short lengths of steel rod, small mallet or ball peen hammer, first aid kit.

Other things to think about: satellite phone, emergency GPS spot tracking device,

I'm sure there are other things I'm not thinking of, but if others chime in, I'm sure we could figure out everything you would need to take with into some remote location so that you can get back out.

Helps to watch Long Way Round, to see what kinds of things can happen on an offroad bike trip.

When I finally got the answer from the rental car insurance guy (Avis) he said he had to hand me off to another company, Crawford and Company. Minnesota does not allow Avis to handle claims directly in the state so they have to give it to a company that is set up in the state in order to handle the claim.

More goofy government red tape.
