That's a good deal for England. I know stuff typically costs more there. I think you can get a new RSVR in the US for around 12-13k if you shop around. The Factory is closer to 17k. The latest models are based on the 2004 refresh, so they're not as exciting as the new Ducs. But the RSV-4 will put them back in contention.

I don't have much seat time with the newer bikes. They are well known for being comfortable as sportbikes go, but that is on a case-by-case basis. I like the wider seats because it gives you room to move around. But they're not the best choice for shorter people. I get a backache just sitting on Ducatis.

Those bikes are made for jockeys.
