Noriyuki Haga is one of the more prolific racers riding in competition today. Starting in Japanese Superbike back in 1996 and then subsequently bouncing back and forth between WSBK, 500cc GP, Moto GP and British Superbike, he has ridden just about anything from just about every manufacturer.
During one of Haga’s retrograde movements back into WSBK (coming off of a poor season trying to tame the Red Bull Yamaha YZR500 GP bike), he landed a ride on the one-bike Aprilia team competing with a RSV1000. This bike celebrates his 4th place WSBK final standings – after which he jumped back to MotoGP to head up Aprilia’s effort in that class.

Seems like a lot of money.
Being a Haga and an Aprilia fan I would totally pay $15k.
Too bad it’s in HI, but that price seems right for the amount of farkles on it.
15k is not chump change. Kevin if you can, then do it, and enjoy! I would be more curious to see what deal could be negotiated on this machine though. There are a few of them that have been floating around out there on eBay for a minute, so do some homework, a bargin is bound to be had. Personally I’ve an eye for the Edwards rep’s, only because he’s a statesman, but if it’s an Ape, you’ve got my attention.
even in Hawaii that seems like a lot for a Haga. You can probably dig up a nera which is much rarer for about the same money.
[…] get to see another example of a great bike. In this case, you are looking at the doppelganger of the Haga Replica #105 we posted earlier this […]
