    I love my 2016 RSV4 RF absolutely love it. Just a beast and nothing but compliments. I keep my traction control around 2 or 3 and wheelie control usually 1 or 2. I use my RSV4 RF even as a commuter to work 1hr 30 minutes everyday. I can't get enough of riding it.

    MegaTechpc honestly it’s been as reliable as any Japanese bike. Just change your oil every 3k miles and Lube your chain every 500.. do it yourself. Valve adjustment is until 12-15k miles so you’re good on that for a while. I hear it’s like 700 for the dealer to check that.

    Like your videos lamb chop, I had one of these out on a demo today Sunday the 21st of July 2019 from wheels in Peterborough. I've got to say, did not like it because of the clonky gearbox, the engine feels very agracultural and feels stressed on the very bottom of the Rev range, the clutch is really annoying as well. The induction roar is awesome though and it has monster power, more than you could ever use on the road. I've got to say, I prefer my R1M. Each to their own lamb chop.any way, keep up the good work.

I too am 6'2 230lbs been debating the RSV4 RR / R1 / 2017 Blade. How does the 2015 up comfort compares to the RSV4? I sat on the rsv4 does feel pretty cramped. Coming from riding a Superduke super comfortable. I'm waiting to see what Yamaha Honda and Aprilia add to there models but I hear the fireblade is pretty comfy vs R1 and rsv4 but the sound of the Rsv4 and the R1 just music to my ears! Looking forward to the 2017 1290R videos! It would make for excellent bike for your height and weight I can do all day rides on my KTM easily!!

Hopefully the 2018 RSV4 will have even better features if nothing much changes I'll probably try to get a 2017 RSV RF left over model! Next year. Looking forward to see videos on the KTM I hear it's much more refined over the 2014-2016 models I really like the Keyless ignition and instrument cluster the led headlight looks pretty slick as well!

    A Super Duke R is in no way, shape, or form comparable to an RSV4. It’s basically a fat and ugly supermoto; of course you can handle wheelies on it, it’s been dumbed down just for that sort of riding. The RSV4 is a 200+ hp racing bike that will chew you up and spit you out if you don’t know what you are doing.

    Great vid LCR, I was between the RSV4 (2016 RR) and the ZX10R ABS KRT (2016), after watching all the video's (esp your ZX10R review), and sitting on/playing with both bikes multiple time. I went with the ZX10R and couldn't be happier. To me being a bigger guy (6.0' 245lbs) the ZX10R fits, the suspension is perfect (after adjustment of course) and the power is so smooth and linear down low, then mental explosive up up, I just mesh with it so well. Its like you say, for a track bike the RSV4 is amazing, but sitting up so high, the compactness of the bike, and the heat it makes; not the best on the road.

    At 2:02 , just how can you stand riding on such narrow roads? Of the many moto videos I've seen, UK roads are far too narrow...some don't even fit two cars, & one or both cars wind up going onto a curb or sidewalk...Don't you have any legal minimum road width regulations?...especially with a corresponding maximum speed? These country roads your riding here while are maybe, legally wide enough, ..in the States they would be posted at only about 20-25 MPH.....far too narrow for my taste...but this is what you get when you pave over an Ox-cart trail & call it a road.

    My thoughts on the rsv4 ,, if you're not an A group rider on the track. And you don't have a good feel for a motorcycle and you're not capable of sliding into a term or actually trail braking hard into a turn this bike is not for you. Go never get the most out of the bike and you won't be able to put yourself to get the most out of the bike you need to build up to this type of machine witch takes years to do. This is why there's something called a honda they're made for street riding they're comfortable to ride and you can push yourself on to this bike way before you could ever get a hold of the Aprilla, The Honda has good characteristics for street riding. The Aprilla is an old MOTO GP bike. Motogp bikes are hard to ride. Most people would be better off going with a honda that setup for riding on the street.

    Well said.I was riding the aprilia Mille and RSV R in the early 2000s when most people i knew had not even heard of them as a manufacturer.Yes they were v twins with huge torque but the characteristics after riding Japanese 1000s like the R1 was like night and day.Very tall and narrow feeling too.Tempted by the RSV 4 but my Blade is just so nice even though its 9 years old now.The RSV 4 as you say is most certainly for riders with a good few years experience behind them especially on the roads of Britain.The BMW 1000rr is more agreeable but lacks that Italian x factor,but lets be honest most of us on this site ride bikes that can lose you your license in the blink of an eye no matter what make or model.

    I own a 2016 ZX10R, the gearing isn't tall, the bike was designed with 215hp in mind, and then Euro 4 and DOT regulations made them limit it to around 180 (170rwhp) with the throttle blades only reaching 40-60% opening below 7000rpm. I've ridden a Don Guhl Flashed 2016 ZX10R, and its an absolute animal! the power comes on hard at 5500rpm, and just screams to 14 500! The gearing is PERFECT at this power level, and once you ride it with this type of tuning, the entire bike makes sense. Its a shame all the reviewers and magazines couldn't see why the Kawasaki was underperforming with Euro 4, saying it was "tall gearing" as an issue. Kawasaki left the gearing, so when you flash the bike to its intended power levels, it wouldn't just loop itself at 250km/hr + lol. Anyway, just wanted to throw that in there. My brother races Aprilia's, and the parts are cheap and easy to find. They are also super reliable bikes, 2012 onward.
