Other Other Motorcycles in Cornelius

2007 Aprilia 1000 R Facory edition with only 4,063 mis on it.

Ok I purchased this at a local estate sale. I don't know much about bikes but I asked a few questions and did a bit of research so I don't sound totally lost.  This is a Hoffman Motorcycle. I thought is was a 54 but I keep being told that it must be 48 or 49 because it has a stick shift on the tank and that is supposedly the only years that this maker had made them with a stick on the tank.  Anway it is somewhere between 48/49 and 54.....the guy who told me that has to use a book on german bikes so feel free to research because you are the experts....Hoffman is a german maker and was only in business for 4 years so finding any bikes at all is rare.
