Aprilia RSV 1000 R 2007 Factory Dark Lion Edition

Description

Got this RSV1000R from the factory back in 2007 — it’s the rare Dark Lion edition, and honestly, it’s one of the coolest bikes I’ve ever owned. It’s been in daily use for years, mostly on the road, and I’ve taken it to the Isle of Man this year without a hitch. Starts every time, even in cold weather, and the miles are always accurate.

It’s a late-model factory build with all the good stuff: Gold OZ forged wheels, Brembo radials, Akrapovic racing exhausts, and the gold-anodised frame — all original and solid. The sound is deep and addictive, and it pulls like a dream. I’ve kept it well maintained, and it’s been treated like a proper ride, not just a showpiece.

Everything’s included — manuals, two keys, pillion seat, and cowl. It’s ready to go, no fuss, no drama. I’m not looking for lowball offers — this one’s been on my list for years, and I’m just passing it on now because I’m moving to a new place.

Only reason I’m selling is because I’m getting a V4 Tuono now — it’s a different kind of ride, but I still love this one. It’s in good shape for its age, and if you’re a real rider, you’ll appreciate what it’s got.
