I'm being told that 7 motorcycles are too many!

Lockable, easily removable saddlebags. Winner of Cycle Worlds ten best bikes.
A few scratches, including the left saddlebag in photo. $3800 OBO. Located in Santa Barbara. If you're in the area you are welcome to come by and see it. Aprilia RST 1000 Futura - Best Used Bikes Best Sport-Touring Bike, 2001. By Cycle World August 12, 2010 Why it won: The angularly styled Futura (which, in its matte black version, does a fair imitation of an F-117 stealth fighter) places its major emphasis on the "sport" half of its sport-touring mission. Its engine, based on that of the RSV Mille repli-racer, was retuned for more midrange, but its aluminum chassis is all its own. Its standout features include a single-sided swingarm, an under-tail exhaust, quick-detach hard saddlebags and the most comfortable seat ever bolted onto any motorcycle that had the word "sport" in its description. On the open highway, the Futura is a pleasant ride, even though its semi-sporty riding position is not quite as long-day comfy as that of some other bikes in the category. But on a twisty backroad, it carves up the curves just about as effectively as its racier sibling. From the 2001 Ten Best story: "The Mille-based V-Twin makes competitive power, and its twin-spar aluminum chassis elevates class standards for handling. And the styling...well, love it or leave it, the Italian designers deserve credit for daring to be different." |
