The 2005 Factory continued the 2004 recipe: the RSV 1000 R V-twin wrapped in Öhlins suspension front and rear, an Öhlins steering damper, radial Brembos, forged wheels and carbon trim. Testers found it fast, precise and superbly finished on track, but harsh on bumpy roads, lively under hard acceleration and thirsty, with a typical range of under 100 miles per tank.
