Quick intro, after owning all sorts of sports bikes over the last 25 odd years thought iwas happy with my RSVR I have had fot 8 years now. Always loved the look of the ZRX and just lately the urge is taking over. Now the question......will I be dissappointed?......

Welcome to :zrxuk: As to whether you will be disappointed, I guess it depends on your expectations. The Aprilia is a completely different animal, designed to do a different job.
If you are looking for a retro-looking muscle bike that pulls like a train from no revs in all gears, handles acceptably and looks the dogs, then you will be OK. If you want the sharpest handling, searing acceleration with single-sided swingarm and fuel injection then you are going to be left feeling flat
Take a test ride. You know you want to

Thanks for the reply Burchy. An 02 mille is by no means the sharpest handling or fastest about BUT boy it has character! Not interested in standing around looking at the latest razor edged machines. Want something that looks good, goes well, odd trackday and can throw a tent on the back with the missus.....think I may have found it, need a test ride.... :-)))))
