Ok, so this could go one of many different ways but I've just bought this cheaply and unseen off of that ebay...

Very nice.
It doesn't look to require much projecting.

Just spoke to the seller and picking it up on Saturday. Will post more details when it’s actually in the van but it’s a 2004 factory with 12k on it.

Very noice mate.
What kind of projecting are you envisaging? Tidy up? Concours resto? Tuono it? brown seat?

Brown seat and low rider conversion.
Will simply mot it, see what else needs doing and then ride it.

That looks very tasty - Akrapovic cans, Ohlins, radial Brembos, looks v. clean - what's not to like?

From the photos it looks very tidy. Certainly a lot better than most 18 year old bikes would look. They were regarded as a bit of a weapon back in the day...

Very elegant in those colours,much nicer than some of the other lairy Aprilia options.
The painted part on the front of the tank looks almost 3D

Didn't factory spec have gold frames ?
Or was that just the Tuono?
