Should be a nice bike!
I had the opposite,blew up two MC 18s in my race days (both cranks) and have never had a problem with the RGV or Aprilia BUT i like the Honda for road riding way better. Just seems to have a bit more mid range and easier to ride.
I think that is why i want the 300 kit, more torque. The track days are awesome, blitzing 90% of big bikes on the old as 250 two stroke freaks a lot of people out, the 300 should help get that last 10%! (evil grin!)
Catch up with you.
