Wasn't this Thing Supposed to NOT be an Aprilia?

Remember when spyshots of this did the rounds some time back, and everyone
swore blue in the arse that is wasn't the new RSV, but the Honda SP-3 or the
new Laverda, or...?

Well,
<http://www.mcnews.com.au/NewBikeCatalogue/2004/Aprilia/Mille/Introduction.h
tm>

Blended-in indicators are back, y'all...

 

Can you say FUCKING UGLY?

 

Nope, but I can say "expected response received"...

 

Then I didnt disappoint you.. You think that front end is good lookin
?

 

Frankly, yes... bizarre headlight shape, coupled with some glimpsed inner
structure to the ram-air inlet, sharply raked screen... it's exactly the
look Triumph's Daytona 600 tried for, but failed to bring off.

I like it. It looks industrial, futuristic, and challenging, not pointlessly
fussed-over in the manner of, say, the MV, nor safe like a GSX-R, nor
cynically pandering like the CBR600RR[1]... the latter being something your
beloved '94-'97 VFR is also guilty of...

[1] No doubt Kawasaki are hoping like hell that by the time they start
marketing the ZX10, drawing parallels between it and their GP bike won't
have a counterproductive effect.

 

Dunno; I can't remember what the non-Laverda, non-Aprilia looked like!

 

Yup, the koala bike. I remember it. Looks marginally improved to the
spypix version. Interesting........... Can't see myself cruising down the
road on an overgrown plastic marsupial though.

 

Heh, just looks like another modern sportsbike. No character.

overpowering

What a shame the Victorian Drug Squad was disbanded. You'd have fitted in
nicely, Croks

Perhaps if they had called it the "Anti-drugs squad"?

 

Why don't they give us something to do?

 

anti??????? .....oh.....ooops

dint know ants were doing drugs

 

they were rather bullish in resisting arrest

boom boom

but police were putting out feelers towards a peaceful solution to the stand
off

 

let loose on an internet connection and the
unfortunate result was...

Shit Croks,


you really bug me sometimes
