Thanks everyone...North-East USA is entirely like this with dense trees all over. Every season, the scenery is beautifully different.
I'll go to this place again in Sept-October(Fall season) and get pictures of when all the leaves begin to change color and it becomes even more beautiful. And then again after December(beginning of winter), when all the trees have shed all the leaves and the trees & hills are literally "naked".
@Ken, Futura was the only model that came with a single side swingarm. (In late 80s/early 90s, there was another 125cc Aprilia racing model called "AF1 Futura" that too sported a SSS for some time.)Originally posted by ken cool View PostNice one there! Pretty pictures. Quite an overcast sky. Beautiful RSV. Was surprised to see two things on the bike though:
1. Single side swingarm. Did not know they existed on Aprilias! Seen them mostly on Ducs.
2. Presence of a twin spar instead of the trellis!

Lovely ride, wonderful machine, beautiful views.
I would personally love to know more about the Futura, from you. Something like a first hand ride report would be great.
I agree on this totally and second it.
Acceleration, low rev torque, flat spot, handling, sound, console usability etc...
I hear you, guys. A ride report is in order. Problem is, the weather, work schedule & social life have not been co-operating lately. It has been raining almost every day for last two weeks. Plus weekdays have been a little hectic at work and weekends are even worse. I haven't ridden the bike in the last 3 weeks since this ride. Its that bad.
But... we should have a ride report soon with all the performance stats. I promise.

The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!
