It's a marmite bike- even most Aprilia Owners don't like it, so I don't expect you to like it! But it was my design, my paint scheme, and mostly implemented by an 18 year old apprentice, I love it and that's all that counts.
The C90 is what you want to see probably
No V5, so waiting for that, then a good service and mot, tax, insurance. Then I think with petrol prices at the mo I will be using it to get the 15 miles to work near the Elephant and Castle (just did the maths on my Mille and it's not good- the race airbox, chip and pipe I just put on have reduced the mpg from 35 to about 30 on the trip to work), then using my Aprilia when I get the cash and parts to work on the C90- plan is to restore it just a bit, then ride it through Winter and sell it to buy another project next year- but I won't promise not to become attached to it, keep it and still buy another next year- just don't tell the missus.
Little question, the chain guard. My one is rusty to say the least, do I need it (obviously I will need a top guard for mot), or can I take it off- what are the pros and cons of doing that and where could I get a replacement cheaply?
nice
even with a ripped seat cover. The chain guards often rust and one reason is the water drain holes on the underside get blocked.
