Just picked up an RSV4 Factory today. Only had a short ride home, but I can already tell this is one amazing machine. Very different than anything else.

Congrats! PLEASE share some pictures when you get a chance. I'm certain you just picked up what will be regarded as one of the most historic motorcycles ever produced.

Here are a couple of crappy pics for now. I'll get some better ones later. Need to find some rear sets and decide which exhaust I want. Also need to find a fender eliminator kit.

Good Lord!! I gotta ask, what's the MSRP of this bike? How many are coming state side?

Congratulations on such a beautful bike!

Don't forget the rsv4 Factory. But 183whp from the BMW does make one curious.

Thanks guys. Not sure how many they are bringing state side. MSRP for the Factory is $20,999 and $15,999 for the "R" Version.

Beautiful score Ara! Did you keep the R1's too?

Evotech makes a decent fen-elim kit.

I think the best 2 choices for exhaust are Akra and the slip on made by
Austin Racing.

I can't even begin to describe how badly I want this bike........ It's like how I felt for the RC51 all over again....

Already ordered the Evotech FE kit. Those are the two exhausts i'm contemplating. The Austin Racing sounds badass, but I don't know if it's going to be too loud. Plus you get a remapped ECU with the Aprilia/Akrapovic setup. As for rear sets, i'm between the Aprilia ones, Gilles, and Rizoma. Decisions, decisions.

The R1s are for sale. Wish I could keep them all, but I really don't have the need for more than one bike right now.
