Oh yes, perfect pairing with Aprilia, the Honda does get used, but less so on the Sundays in hot weather, the MV or Factory win there, however the Honda is deceptive, and also gets better the longer I'm out just like the others, it certainly isn't a much lesser bike, it's a different feeling bike, which actually displays better manners in some areas. I use it for work mostly which is only six miles haha. Definitely a better all weather bike than anything else, or slow speed. So much smooth power in this particular model. Soon to go though I think.
Yes, Mondial. I guess yours is one of the Made in Italy ones? Don't know where they got them. It's ace, and not the easiest to ride. However, if I stay with it and take it further, it is infectious, and a hell of a thing on the North Wales roads.
Mine is for sale, supplied by Mondial directly, with its original invoice.
I'm also considering if to let the RR go as a new bike, but the jury is out there. If I didn't have to have even more surgery I'd keep the lot, just got a letter with a date for early November.
