MaxMoto News. 13/05/03.
Our first Colin Edwards Replica has arrived and
it looks just gorgeous, but sorry folks, it's already sold.
This bike is far more just a Aprilia RSV Mille R
with extra stickers. The engine has had much of the attention with
a new high pressure air box, a throttle body diameter increase from
52 to 57mm, a new Electronic Fuel Injection chip and stronger con
rods.
The chassis gets a smart blue anodized billet aluminium
top yoke.
In a separate box is the racing kit. This includes
an additional Akrapovic 2 into 2 titanium racing exhaust, another
EFI chip and 16 tooth front sprocket for track use.
In race trim, the engine is claimed to put out 138bhp
and a whopping 79.8ftlb of torque.
On top of the "standard" RSVR Oz wheels,
Ohlins suspension/steering damper and Brembo radial brakes, it's
no wonder that the Colin Edwards Replica has been getting rave reviews.
Cost is £12,099 to you, sir.
UPDATE 27/06/03: We've just received
another of our allocated stock and this one is for sale. Come on
in and have a look at it in the flesh....you know you want to!
