..."Miscellaneous Man?"...

Now I can't un-see that. You've ruined it!

Nice. Notice and extra stiffness with the tunnel brace? I was thinking for getting the ECS for the A4. I already have a strut brace, so not sure if I want both.

Did you upgrade the intercooler or add downpipe?

Yes, although, the tunnel and strut brace were installed at the same time, but the difference in handling/cornering was significantly better than with just the H&R rear sway bar previously installed. I had a front strut brace installed prior, but removed it as it was not an adequate one, created some weird handling dynamics, and the better ECS was suggested as a major improvement. The downpipe was already installed and the intercooler was also from the GTI "R".

Oh, when I saw it, I thought, "Miscellaneous Man?"

You would.

Muscleman - that’s Walter.

Ha, that has also been suggested by others, until they see me.

Right at the end of my driveway this poor bloke slid and dumped
I guess it's part and parcel with owning a bike ...

Yep, bikes are not stable!

I've not seen one of these in person. Are they as Tall as the Ducati equivalent? My god those things are almost as tall as an open class dirt bike for seat height.

They are tall, about 33".

Whoa. Gotta respect anything with a 12,000+ redline. Looks wicked.

It does seem like a lot, but some bikes out there are spinning to 16000-18000 rpm. It's crazy. The V4 engine configuration in the Aprilia sounds very nice, like a MotoGP bike.

Whee! Having given up bikes 30 years ago, I'm clearly out of touch with current tech...

The tech is impressive. Imagine if cars had the same displacement to power. A 1000cc naturally aspirated BMW M1000RR makes 205hp. 1L = 205hp naturally aspirated.
