This is a nice 2001 Aprilia RST Futura. This bike was in storage for years in Maine, then I move it to Texas and change oil, anti freeze and brake fluids, bike starts and runs ok but need a full injector and fuel tank clean up. Clean Maine title on hand. This bike is really confortable, I had the plan to attend the iron butt challenge on but unfortunately no much time to ride...

This is a great looking Aprilia RST Futura. Italian design with a 998cc super reliable bullet proof rotax V60 engine. This bike was garaged for years and has been just serviced with Mobil 1 synthetic oil and new fluids, unfortunately no time to ride. This bike has never been droped or involved in an accident. Clean title on hand, I am not interested in trades, please don't ask.Here's some information from Wikipedia:The Aprilia RST1000 Futura is a sport touring motorcycle that was produced by Aprilia from 2001 to 2004. It is equipped with a 113 horsepower (85 kW) four-stroke 60° V-twin engine with electric-start, liquid cooling and electronic fuel-injection.The Futura incorporated an aluminium-alloy, double-parallel-beam frame with a single-sided swinging arm. Transmission is via a six-speed gearbox and chain-final drive. Other features included CDI dual ignition system using two spark plugs per cylinder, dry sump lubrication, mixed gear/chain timing, (AVDC) double-balance countershaft, and power-assisted hydraulic-controlled clutch, with a patented Pneumatic Power Clutch" (PPC) to simulate a slipper clutch to control rear-wheel bounce during sudden deceleration.The chief designer in charge of the project was Pierluigi Marconi. He would design the Futura around the same motor used in the Mille, a 998cc DOHC 60 degree V-twin. Among major changes from the Mille were the single side swing arm and undertail exhaust used to retain space for the hard sided luggage. Marconi also specified an increase in the electrical generator in order to cope with accessories that touring riders were sure to add. Electrical capacity was increased by 30% over that of the Mille. Marconi directed his design team to spend an extensive amount of time on the exhaust system. The result was that it did not heat up the seat as other undertail exhausts did. It also passed Euro 1 standard emissions without the catalytic converter. The design team moved to supplier Sagem to provide the fuel injection and intake systems.The bike's large, angular shape divided critics: some thought it was innovative and made it "look like an F-117".Motorcycle similar to BMW LT, Honda Goldwing, Moto Guzzi Stelvio, Yamaha FJR, Honda Paneuropean, Kawasaki and other sport touring euro and japanese bikes.
