Well, my friends told me that the parts were more expensive,
among other things. Also, the resale value not good, price of
aprilia deppreciate very quickly. Performance not gd with milo
kong.
If you wanna change the pipe to something else, like arrow, if get
caught, will get fined. $500 i think. Not worth it.
I did ask those who owned aprilia b4, they mentioned that the
maintenance is quite alright. But once you buang or wanna replace
parts, jialat, pocket will burn hole. Thats what happened to my
friend a few yrs back.
I think kips, SP, and the like are more worth the money than
aprilia. Though now aprilia is dirt cheap, there could be
complications, like problem with engine or watever. And if you
wanna upgrade and change bike, no motodiam would want to take over
your aprilia.
It was a popular bike back then becoz of Rossi. He used aprilia
back then. So many pple rushed to get it. Rossi craze.... 
Anyway, european bikes(like aprilia) are definitely not as easily
maintained as japanese/asian bikes.
