 RSV 4 Factory is here Don't miss this opportunity to be first to ride Cycle World Bike Of the Year! From the track to the street this is one of the most anticipated motorcycles in recent years! Beautiful lines, amazing power, and world class braking make this motorcycle a class leader. Pricing is RSV 4 base model (blk or white) $15,999 and the fully adjustable Factory version $20,999 Call for details 828-693-0115 Aprilia RSV4 tested by "Superbike Magazine": "In my view sports bikes don't come much more refined than the RSV4. That sounds a bit pompous but I've reluctantly got off it now thinking it is essence of sportsbike. After spending this week thrashing about road and track, it's just jumped to the top of my 'best production bike I've ever ridden' list. Truly.
It's exciting, agile, accurate, fast, fascinating to look at and special. What more could you want from a sportsbike? This is just my view but, well, I've been riding a lot of bikes for a long time now so I do have a half-decent point of view (I hope!).
I've read and heard a couple of questions about its size not being enough for bigger riders but I don't agree - and at six foot I'm well qualified. It's no different to a 600, say the R6 or CBR6 - both of which I've spent thousands of miles on. In fact that's a good pointer. The RSV4 is like a 600cc sportsbike with a litre bike engine, which has been a well-used cliche in the past but has never been truer than with this bike.
On track it was brilliant and I can't imagine a better production bike. It made Cadwell shrink, like a full-spec superbike does and demands a bit of brain re-calibration. For instance I've never flicked through the Gooseneck as quick. The mixture of fast and flowing, plus tight and nadgery bends showed the Aprilia chassis was easily better than the 1198S and R1 we tested it alongside."

New 2009 Moto Guzzi V7 Classic Honors Historic Roots
 November, 2008 – Four decades after sparking Italian enthusiasm for big displacement V-Twin engines, Moto Guzzi adds a new chapter of history with the U.S. market debut of the 2009 V7 Classic. Acknowledged as one of the most beautifully styled motorcycles of its era, the original V7 became an instant classic when it was unveiled. Not only was it Italy’s first large displacement motorcycle, but the 1967 V7 was also elegantly styled by the legendary designer Giulio Cesare Carcano. Just as importantly, the V7 became an instant technology trendsetter thanks to its innovative transverse, air-cooled V-twin engine with shaft drive. It is this unique engine configuration that ultimately became the single-most recognized Moto Guzzi brand attribute. Today, motorcycle enthusiasts who appreciate authenticity and classic good looks but don’t want to sacrifice riding comfort and advanced technology will find the V7 Classic an excellent choice for everyday, anytime adventures – and a style statement that sets you apart in any crowd.

The all new Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 4v has arrived at Moto-Nexus. Whether you are a hardcore, adventure touring, long-miler or a day to day commuter, the Stelvio will deliver as only this Italian thoroughbred can. With its sure footed stance, legendary Moto Guzzi power delivery and ample carrying capacity, the Stelvio is the latest generation of two wheeled SUV’s that does it all. STELVIO 1200 4V: the pleasure of riding at the top.
TheStelvio Pass is a winding path that, like a snake, coils up by the shadow of the Ortles massif, with 84 hairpin bends, at an altitude of 2758 meters between Valtellina and Venosta Valley. For riders, this asphalt stretch, built in 1855, is a legendary route that combines the difficulty of a rugged track with incredible natural beauty, resulting in a riding experience of extraordinary intensity. For Moto Guzzi, it is a historical test stretch, where the benefits of chassis dynamics, resistance, engine response and suspension absorbing capacity can be tested. A frequent test bench where Mandello's new mount, caused instant astonishment due to its dynamics and the pleasurable ride offered. So much so, that it seems quite natural to summarize the design talent and technical intuitions instilled in the new maxi-enduro by Moto Guzzi, with the images and sensations of a place, where the riding pleasure is enriched by the feeling of adventure, sport challenge, and extreme tourism: the Stelvio Pass. Moreover, the new Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 4V has been designed and developed to brave any destination, devouring miles of roads and even off-road surfaces. This multipurpose capability is evident at first glance .Inspired by off-road bikes, Stelvio 1200 4V breaks the traditional, austere look of models in this market segment by introducing new intense shapes and a dynamic energy that evokes the feeling of adventure, long routes, the most extreme use. Slender and streamlined in the lower part, highlighted by refined aluminum spoke wheels and the technology seen in the powertrain and final transmission, the Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 4V is compact and robust in the upper part, revealing the care taken to obtain the best ergonomics for the rider. They are sculptured shapes that stress the numerous design details to respond to an active and intense use, such as the presence of a powerful double front headlight assembly, the windshield and the adjustable seat, the ample section of chassis guides, the aluminum exhaust silencer, the careful assessment for passenger and luggage transport. This design concept has been designed to stress the throbbing heart of Stelvio 1200 4V, the unmistakable 90° transversal V-twin engine in its most functional “quattrovalvole” (four valves) version. Strong, powerful, dominant in its action, Stelvio 1200 4V is now streaking along U.S. roads in two different color concepts: Corsa Red for the classic sportsman and Guzzi Black for those who prefer tradition. |
