Aprilia USA pays tribute to the Space Shuttle

The most ambitious engineering project the world has ever seen, the space shuttle has inspired many to go places they otherwise wouldn't have gone. That includes Aprilia USA, which pays tribute to the brave men and women who made the shuttle possible as its last ever launch approaches. Crossing performance boundaries never thought possible and forging new frontiers in innovation, making and racing motorcycles wouldn't be entirely alien to the people that created a bridge between earth and space.

Sonic boom at 2:06? Amazing footage. I can't stop watching this video.

@MastaSquidge We already went over this squid boy, it was pointed out that YOU wrote your post wrong. Get over it. Now you are saying modern 600's are faster than a ZX-7r? Let's see:

2011 Honda CBR600rr 0-60mph @ 3.3 sec with 161 MPH top speed

2011 Suzuki GSXR600 0-60 @ 3.3 secs with 165 mph top speed

2011 Yamaha R6 0-60 @ 3.4 secs with 164 mph top speed

2011 Kawasaki ZX6-R 0-60 @ 3.3 secs with 164 mph top speed

2003 ZX7-R 0-60 @ 3.3 secs with 168 mph Don't you ever get tired of failing?

Just WOW! absolutely astonishing. I can't stop watching this lol, makes me want to own a Aprilia. I am a car guy, love to seeand hear Motorcycles , not drive them, after this I just might get a motorcycle:) if so, I'll be sure its a Aprilia!! I

@JungleListSoldier

I PROVED that modern 600s are marginally faster than 750s of days gone by. 0-60 is a meaningless marketing figure and means nothing. 0-100mph or 1/4 mile are much more relevant and FACT the ZX7R is slower than a brand new CBR6. So EPIC FAIL!

[JungleListSoldier]

@StigRossi You didn't "pwn" anything Squid boy was dead wrong. And yes I did demolish his point because he clearly stated the 600s are faster. I don't back down when I know I'm right. Reason I did not respond to your post was because I value my time too much to argue with internet trolls.

こんなPVは大好きだね！

@JungleListSoldier

Dude you don't know how he rides and even if modern 600s are NO faster than a ZX7 they are apparently equal, thus not exactly demolishing his point jah?

Further if you want to see squids, you should come to Illinois, where idiots ride around on Honda FIreblades with no helmets, and US Marines ride around on stretched and nitrous'd Yamaha R6s (WTF?)

[JungleListSoldier]

@StigRossi First off 0.2 of a second means nothing. Second, I was correcting squid boy who said "modern 600s are faster than a ZX7." That is clearly not true, they are the same acceleration wise and the 7 has a higher top speed. In fact I correct my previous spec, the 7 has a top speed of 171 not 168. Even further proving my point.. It's not that I like to pick fights but rather school know-it-all squids. Jack asses like him are the reason sport bike insurance rates are so high.

@JungleListSoldier

You're a tool mate. Have you ever ridden the orig ZX7R? Its a BEAST of a thing, and made the GSXR750 look like a lithe ballet dancer. Further, the quarter mile time of the ZX7R is SLOWER than even perhaps among the weakest of the 600s, the Honda CBR600. Kawi - 1/4 mi in 11.1, CBR600 in 10.9. Only 2/10 but still quicker than the CBR600. You really like to pick fights for no reason dont u?

I prefer this music to the Sun in your Eyes track but because of your comment, I checked out Above & Beyond and I bought their album Group Therapy off iTunes. I'd advise anyone who is into chill music and light trance to check it out. It got great reviews and is beautiful
