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!
