    Hate to hear this but it happens. I have lived here all my life and riding here since 1993, As a local, I have lost 5 friends and seen many crash and submit to their injuries. like I tell everyone, ride at your pace and skill level, bike setup is one of the most important things to riding a road of this caliber and knowing the road is half the battle. So many come here unprepared and make really bad choices before riding.

    @BigEbikesports Not really. It has been a solid bike so far. If I bought a BMW, I wouldn't have done that. It also depends on your financial situation. If you count every dime, I would say keep the bike stock, but for me, I don't buy high-end sport bikes to keep them stock... That would be quite boring.

    Ran across a out of towner dude that was all bent out of shape because he ran into motorhomes, people pulling boats and trailers, causals in their cagers. Had to remind him that it was a public road and don't have too many roads to get from one side to the other. Also many commute back and forth. Something we just have to deal with.

Thought I would try the dream bike of many, the RSV4 Factory, it is truly an amazing machine! I have been tuning the suspension since I put a stiffer shock spring on the Ohlins, and the sweet spot is just a few clicks away!

    Small tip This bike has the front indicators integrated into the headlight, by default on American models they are disabled and you have them in your mirrors (due to approval issues in US) but I have seen that they can easily be unlocked if you want to remove the mirrors but keep the indicators

  • @BigEbikesports
    @BigEbikesports2 ай бұрын

    From what I understand they can only be unlocked by doing an upmap aka race map, which most have to do with a CAT delete slip on exhaust but Aprilia will void the warranty with any upmap or racemap without an approved slip on exhaust. i won't worry about it right now since it's got 3 year warranty but maybe after that.
