I voted: Awesome

Afterall, it's a 167hp naked bike with gobbs of torque and a pretty amazing design, 180kg's and a decent 17l tank. Like a few have said here I'm not a big fan either of the "bug lights" on the front, but the side view looks pretty killer so that' alright and it's an Aprilia so you know the quality is top notch.

I have sat on a few in the UK and the only real failing about it is the seat comfort, it's a plank, but I guess you don't complain about seat comfort if you own an Aprila.

But overall, definately a nice bike to own, but I'd look into an aftermarket seat for it myself...

I was actually surprised by how comfy the Ape plank seats are. I've been on several 2+ hour rides on the RSV and it's not that bad.

Touche, to say I have padding is a bit of an understatement...
