APRILIA RSW500

[badtothebone99]

Thank you franco, the bike is awesome, I love it!
Another thing: in my garage I found the original stickers of the aprilia lion and of Jeremy McWilliams' number, it would be great if I can make that bike, so, will you release a template of the bike?

here is the template, but it is rudimentary

Can I put this in the next Bike MOD?

[franco pizzagalli]

yes, if you think the model is valid, you can

Did someone test the RSW against the Varese or NSR head to head?
I would like to know the lap time difference (maybe on Philipp Island or Mugello).
Maybe someone raced against a 500V4 and could tell the advantage and disadvantage (handling/acceleration,..) of the current model?
Could not try the RSW yet....so maybe someone can support in this case?

Basicly: I am not a good rider compared to the champs here, so I won't give you any of my embarassing laptimes .
Also I'm not that experienced riding 2-strokes. But it is fun anyway.

Just had a short shakedown with the Varese and the Aprilia at Victoria Circuit.
I've been using the stock set up to point out the basic characteristics of the bikes. Just changed front brake laverage to 20mm and tyres to soft on both bikes.
To me the Aprilia seems to be smoother in terms of transitioning from low to medium rpms accelerating. It doesn't point the front into the air as quickly as the Varese does. So the engine is a little friendlier for the rookie me .
When it comes to braking the Aprilia was a little more gentle allowing more control with a defecite of brakepower. Had to engage the frontbrake a bit earlier. Riding through slow and medium speed turns the Aprilia had the tendency to understeer. It also starts to chatter at slow speed earlier than the Varese does. Exiting tunrs the Aprilia has been more comfortable to me because it's not as agressive on the rear end.

All in all the Aprilia seems a little easier to ride but that might be more because of my skill (or not having that).

I'll try some setup tweaking now to see how fast and agressive those bikes can go with me riding them.

Thank you for you reply.

Surely, the engine lacks about 40HP compared to the varese

Ok, that´s what i want to know

Interesting....

No no....the VArese and the other V4 derivates are real beasts. I really like the NSR500 but it´s still hard to ride....

how much is the RSW down on v/max compared to the VArese?

Thank you very much for the hard work and great bike
