Well u guys can help out but spreading the word around to these newbies of our clubs existence. At least they will not be duped into believing myths on aprilia circling the motoring community in sg.

 

Say hie, smile or even wave. Its a well known fact that aprilia riders here in SG are a friendly bunch so keep it that way guys. Lets show our humility and kindness to these people and hopefully, this tradition goes on throughout the generation.

APRILIA RSV Factory - "Masterbike!"

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

APRILIA WINS THE “MASTERBIKE”!!!

 

The Aprilia RSV 1000 Factory has proven itself in the most important comparative test in the world of sport motorcycles. An extraordinary success for an out-of-this-world motorcycle.

 

For nine years in a row, journalists from the 16 most prestigious specialized magazines in the world (In Moto and Motosprint for Italy, Motociclismo Spain, Motociclismo Brazil, Motorrad, PS, Kickstart, MCN, Australian MCN, Cycle World, Motosprint, In Moto, Moto, Motociclismo Mexico, Motociclismo Portugal, Bike, Bike India, and Motorcyclist) have been gathering for what has become known as the most important and prestigious comparative tests for series sport bikes; the “Masterbike”.

 

With the chronometer as a protagonist, it is the motorcycle with the absolute fastest times and the best average times from the various journalists that counts. Journalists who just so happen to be very special; in some tests they defer this unique occasion to professional riders.

 

On the long and engaging Spanish circuit of Jerez de la Frontera, the 13 best contemporary supersport motorcycles battled it out until the end. The Aprilia Rsv 1000 Factory, Ducati 999 S, Honda Cbr RR 600 and 1000, MV Agusta F4 1000R, Suzuki Gsxr 600, 750, and 1000, Triumph Daytona 600, Yamaha Yzf R1 and Yzf R6R, and the Kawasaki ZX 636 R and ZX10R.

 

Yet no other European bike knew how to make it into the final classification, until now always territory of Japanese four-cylinders.

 

Instead, the 2006 edition of the new Aprilia RSV 1000 Factory knew how to take it all the way after dominating the Maxisport category (72 final points as opposed to the 53 of the Suzuki Gsxr 750 and the 21 of the Ducati 999S). It competed for the title against the Kawasaki ZX 10R (that had taken care of the MV Agusta, Yamaha R1, Suzuki Gsxr 1000, and the Honda CBR 1000) and the Triumph Daytona 600 (winner over the Yamaha R, Suzuki Gsxr 600, Kawasaki Zx 6r, and the Honda Crb 600).

 

Aprilia conquered the victory with 76 points (as opposed to the 63 of the Japanese bike and 17 of the English motorcycle) and also finished with the best time on the track, a 1.52.514 earned by the Spaniard, Oriol Fernandez.

 

“We are talking about an extraordinary affirmation – said the Director of the Aprilia Brand, Francesco Mercani – to have the RSV 1000 singled out as the fastest series motorcycle in the world. It is a huge honor to be able to assert yourself as the best product in the most prestigious sector of the motorcycling market, or more accurately, the 1000 supersports into which every production house invests their greatest technological efforts. An international success that rewards the Aprilia philosophy of seeking out the most refined equilibrium between engine performance and mechanical rigor that you find in the RSV that is refined year after year, model after model. A perfect application of the philosophy. It is truly an award for our technicians and developers who, with their competence and passion, maintain the Italian motorcycling tradition at the highest of levels.”

 

The queen of the Masterbike, the Aprilia Rsv 1000 R Factory allocates 143 cvs (105,24 kW) at 10,000 rotations with a maximum torque of 103 Nm at 8,000 rotations thanks to its twin V60° Magnesium that also conforms to Euro 3 standards. With an extremely high level of components that include the triple bridge brake system, radial calipers, and Ohlins suspension; the forged rims complete the image of a motorcycle that was born to win.

There are mototiams other than Mah Pte Ltd who are authorised to sell brand-new '06 Aprilia RS125s? Where is this Lee Motor? I'm very curious to go see.

Suspension Question...

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Hi Guys

 

You racers and track day people....

 

I have just ordered a set of .95 fork springs from AF1 store, what would you suggest for the rear?

 

I am 100 Kg's suited up (maybe slightly more), should i just try it with standard or will i need a higher rate one straight away?

 

Cheers

 

 

reply : I am 205# (about 225# with gear on). I use a .9-.95 kg/mm front spring, and a 450 lb rear spring. You will NEED a heavier rear spring than OEM for sure!

When you speak with a suspension company, like Traxxion or Race Tech, they talk about matching the spring rates front and rear. A match for the 0.9 kg/mm front springs is a 450 lb rear spring (425lb rear is a match for the 0.85 fronts, and is still heavier than stock...I don't know what OEM is, but it is less than 425lb). I have had my front forks revalved by Traxxion, and replaced the rear shock with an Ohlin's unit and a 450 # spring. The Ohlin's allows more rear ride height, which is very helpful. I personally also use a 110 mm air gap on the front forks as well, and slightly heavier fork oil than stock to increase rebound damping. If you use a stock rear spring, you will get way too much rider sag in the rear and will slow down steering ...if you increase the preload to avoid this all you will do is ruin the rear suspension's ability to do it's job...you need the appropriate spring rate.

yeah like jinhan mentioned.. it's at the corner of cross junction. black 06 rs on paddock stand being displayed outside.. there's another company on classified whose also advertising their 06 rs. don't know the shop name thought cause they didn't state, their address is 316 Lavander Street.. link is here.

 

anyway.. andy posted a thread about cheap insurance for rs125 if you buy from Mah. wonder if it's for the 06 model or including the 2nd hand aprilias they're selling there.. and i doubt it's for my age group anyway. read about it at here.

Mass order for Pipercross Aprilia RS125 air filters

[servoprax]

chris : wei !! then rs250 dun have meh ???? hehehe just kidding

Heheh! Any bike that Pipercross makes filters for, we can order together. This guy is the official distributor for Pipercross. Plus, if we order lots, it will show him that there IS demand in Singapore.

 

Wan, if you want a filter for your Fazer1000 and they have filters for it, put your name down. We can easily expand the mass order. But frankly, right now, I don't expect many people to join the mass order, let alone those riding other Aprilia models or even other brands.

T-shirt sample

 

Material: Dri-Fit

Type: Polo Collar

 

Front

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/lacrimosae/Printing/modelfrontaprilia.jpg

 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/lacrimosae/Printing/modelbackaprilia.jpg

 

The prices:

 

Basic:

 

Shirt + Logo (front + back + Sleeve) = $23

 

 

Total min price for the T-shirt will be $23

 

Additional:

 

Name (can choose whether you want it to be at left/ right collar / at the back or in the front) = +$2 (Choose one postion only)

 

Reflective Sleeve = +$3

 

Reflective name = +$2

 

Reflective Front logo = +$3

 

For long sleeve t-shirt, it is available only in cotton material. Deduct $4 from your grand total. So if you want a long-sleeved t-shirt with name, it will be:

$23 (basic) + $2 (name) - $4 = $21

 

As for the Dri-Fit polo short-sleeved at a basic $23, I guarantee this is the cheapest you can find in Singapore.

 

The price is usually much more for other groups, including car clubs, etc. This price is only for our Italian fan clubs.

 

Will bring the sample t-shirts for you guys to try out the sizing.

But for the actual t-shirts, this supplier only accepts COD payment, not credit. So that's why must collect payment first.
