  my first mth with my aprilia . really horror story.
  
  since the day i bought it, i been to workshop 5 times and tow for 2 times.
  
  summary of what is spoilt from the beginning due to 'rash' in buying the bike.
  right handlebar loose
  front fork bent
  steering bearing spoilt
  wheel bearings spoilt
  rear sus spoilt
  front sus too soft.
  brake fluid super dirty
  fairing broken on the rite.
  change front rear tyre.
  change front brake pad and rear brake disc
  change speedo + cable + the 'magnet'
  change spark plug
  rear signal lite spoilt
  front wheel bent so bought another one
  respray both wheels
  
  now valve jammed and carb need to be clean.
  
  spent 1k already on it........
  so to all who fancy an aprilia as their 2b bike, do ask expert to check for u.

  heh...so the best advice to people who wanna get Aprilia. Get it only if you think you can afford the maintaince. Its cheap for a 2nd hand one but the maintanice is definitly much higher, not forgetting the insurence.
