What do you guys think of this new ride?

I saw this for sale and it only had 33.5 original miles so I bought it. It is huge compared to an elite.
Seems well built and liquid cooled, disc front and rear.

Great scoot with a huge aftermarket. Holds its value well. You'll love the performance. The larger tires give a smoother ride while the geometry still provides good handling.

Two thumbs up.

Sweet, I spent about 1.5hours trying to find out if "replica" ment fake, then I thought it was and almost left but I drove a few hours and searched on my phone some more. It turns out "replica" refers to the graphics of their race model put on the street model. I ran the vin and found it was indeed made in Italy, and ended up paying 760.00. I think I will try to find another sometime, I like the braking power for the money. Too bad I have to leave for awhile I have a bunch of scooter stuff to finish modding!

That is a he'll of a deal. They are $2,000 minimum with 3-5k around here.

I've watched a few go by on C/L at 1.5 - 2k. Never spent much time looking due to cost but should be watching for a deal

[Mines2t]

Wow! That's a good deal!!!!!!

[sanjuro]

Wow, you absolutely stole that bike. They are impressive once unrestricted.

[veedubh20]

good deal!

Epic ride! I havn't seen to many aprilia's but I would love to own one. I hear stories of these precious unicorns.

Right on guys,are they restricted only on the Variator and pipe?

yes Mouse, you never know what might fall on craiglist. This was in a 60 year old womans garage collecting dust. I think her husband bought it on impulse and they split. Thats where I came in.

I think the gauges are pretty weak considering how much the bike costs new. But thats not a big deal, the cool thing is it reads to 70mph for when I build her up.

Just looked back at your picture. Appears to be a H. Minarelli.

Where is the airbox? It should be a Morini. A good engine, producing more horsepower than the H. Minarelli. Just before the DiTec engines.

The airbox comes out behinf the riders left heel under some plastic. I found this just now, soit looks like it is the minarelli
