Fast Bikes Magazine 363 - March 2020 Edizione posteriore

Life’s full of tough decisions, like whether you’d sooner have 55,000 penny sweets or an RSV Mille? I still can’t think what swayed it in the end, but I put my cash down on the Aprilia a few weeks back and it’s been littering my garage ever since.

In all seriousness, it’s a bike I’ve always wanted, and one I never imagined would come my way for just £550… but it did. Now all I need to do is get the bloody thing running, but I’ll leave you to read all about my many dramas in a few pages’ time. Have you ever had a bargain come your way? Or a nightmare bike dressed in an alluring price tag?

I love a good project, especially over the winter months, but they’re never
that simple, are they? Get in touch if you’ve got a tale to tell or any pointers on how to make this Mille a corker. The plan is to build it over the next four
issues, just in time for the start of the new season. Keeping with the Italian theme, but adding a good few thousand pounds to the purchase price, Carl’s jetted out to Bahrain to try Ducati’s 2020 V4S.

Is this your ‘Bike of 2020’, or is there another new kid on the block that’s sucked you in with its spec and spiel?
