Hi all thought you might like to take a look at the finished bike. The bike will be officially unveiled at the Excel show on the MCN stand in February. I’m just waiting for the fairing to come back from painting, and final ignition programming on the dyno this Thursday.

I was asked to make this bike for Simon Steele at
http://www.rsvr.net as a track day and show bike.
I started making this bike at the end of October 2006 with a completion deadline of the first day of the Alexandra Palace bike show in January. No pressure then!!
I started with a mint condition Aprilia RS250, and a Brand new Aprilia SXV550. The SXV550 motor went into the RS chassis as if it was designed to do so, well almost, serious chopping with my angle grinder and a bit of welding required.. The RS forks have been replaced with Ohlins Black anodized race forks the RS tank and seat have been replaced with Carbon fibre ZX10R parts. Pete Gibson exhausts made a Moto-GP style exhaust system. The stocks of parts from RSVR.net have been raided for all the ancillary parts to make the bike Aprilia won’t make. The bike is being painted this week and should have its first test, next weekend.
The bike is 95% finished and should meet the completion deadline. Checkout the stages of the build by visiting:-
