[electricsheep]

you need to be tall to fit on a RSVR

[tricky]

I had a ride on a RSVR haga rep recently and to be honest I prefer my 749. I felt really on top of the aprillia rather than part of it which I get from the ducati. I didnt ride the bike for long so didnt really get time for the feel. So Im probably not worth listening to
One of my mates who rides and r1 has also been for a spin on both the duke and aprillia and he said the duke felt better, but that was on a 749 not 748.

tricky.

Huh? Your two current bikes for a 03 MilleR?

I say NO!!

What year is your 748S and your RS anyway?

[Delooney]

The RS is an '02 plate, 7500 miles and showroom.

The 748s is a 2000 plate, 7100 miles, with 50mm termis etc.

The RSVR is a black Haga rep, 2003 plate 7000 miles and mint.

I'm 5'9", and your right it does look a tall bike.

Delooney.

[Iconic944ss]

I think you'd want some money as well - in YOUR direction !!!

[Totto]

If the Ducati fits you then the RSV wont , my 998 fits perfic and the RSV is made for Monkey shaped people well the one i tried was anyway

[sparkin]

Hmmmm..... a Haga rep, is worth a few more.
Previous model RSVR's have been quite unexpensive in the second hand market everywhere, that's why i say don't do it.

I had a 2001 RSVR for three or more years and liked it alot, but i don't think i would make that trade.
I didn't find the RSVR that tall, never had a problem with that and i'm about your heigh.

But give it a try on the RSVR and see how it feel for you.
