Aprilia Sbk News Approved

With a price tag of 12400 pounds in UK, this is still cheaper than a litre class bike in India !
I would love to own one,can live without anything till its a RSV4 !! .... The Factory is an amazing bike, and I am sure this one would be not much different than the original.
Very thoughtful of Aprilia to launch a 'cheaper' version of RSV4...

I think its arnd $15000 ( as given in some website ) or around ~ 9000 Pounds ....

But still its very cheap compared to any litre class bikes.. and this machine is very fast too....

In one of the magazines i read that the previous version of Aprila i.e RSV4 was the fastest street leagal bike in the world( when hayabusa and zzr1400 are not taken into account since these 2 are electronically restricted...or else at any point of time these 2 are the machines to beat )..

An APRILLA is always a different genre of SBKs compared to Japs... Aprilla / Ducati are best when it comes to Luxury SBKs.

Can u tell me how RSV4 is different from other Jap litter class bike, i mean the technology, the power or just the brand name like that of Ducati???

I am at a loss for words in the face of such wisdom


Moving on...


Love the R - 5 kilos is easier and cheaper to lose off your midsection and although the Factory spec is tempting, the R should be a formidable machine as well. I'll never own one because it will have to be extracted from my ass-crack after every ride.

Aprilia is an exotic brand with rich history of racing...just like Ducati, Yamaha, Honda and pretty much every manufacturer out there. The difference is that they were a small outfit fighting it out with the big guns. Their bikes are beautiful to look at and although I've never ridden one, I expect it to be full of character.

The RSV4 is one of the few V4s in such a high state of tune. Narrow V-angle and superb technology going into making the powerplant so small. The whole bike is tiny...I am guessing closer to a Ninja 250 than an R1 Superbike. 180 Bhp with the V4 power delivery...For people who will never get to ride an RD500 in anger - this could be the next best thing!? (I fall in this category)

APRILIA RSV4 R

Aprilia RSV4 R brings the technology and unique character of the V4 that redefined sports performance on the track within the reach of all enthusiasts.
With the advent of the R version, the Aprilia RSV4 - the bike that took the world by storm and set new standards for sports performance, both on the road and on the circuits of the SBK World Championship - is now accessible to an even broader group of enthusiasts.
RSV4 R maintains the same features that make the Aprilia RSV4 project so unique: the narrow 180 hp V4 engine, Ride-by-Wire integrated electronic management, dual injectors, race bred frame and suspension and extreme compactness.

Aprilia officially presents the new RSV4 R against the backdrop of the twelfth round of the World Superbike Championship.
Christened by Max Biaggi, the Aprilia RSV4 R is the latest product of the project that has brought Aprilia back to the pinnacle of the motorcycle world, both on the world's circuits and on the road.
A revolutionary project - starting from a blank piece of paper and drawing from the marque's unparalleled success on the racetrack - that led to the inception of the RSV4 SBK, the bike that Biaggi rode straight to victory in the World Superbike Championship, and a production bike which, in its Factory guise dedicated to circuit racing professionals, redefined the limits for the supersports genre.
Aprilia now presents the RSV4 R, a bike born from the same project in a new, more accessible guise, conceived to bring this fantastic machine within reach of expert riders who want to experience its technological supremacy.
To offer you the same sensations as you carve a perfect line from apex to apex that Max Biaggi experiences on the track in the World Superbike Championship, the Aprilia RSV4 R maintains all the features that make the superbike project so unique:

COMPACTNESSENGINE PERFORMANCE: Class leading power, the torque of a twin, combined with the smooth power delivery and flexibility of a four cylinder, and dual injectors per cylinder. Technical and architectural solutions worthy of a genuine race prototype.

ELECTRONICS: Second generation Ride by Wire with multiple maps (track, sport and road).

CHASSIS ARCHITECTURE: Class beating solutions true to Aprilia traditions. The aluminium frame is built around the engine for maximum effectiveness both on the track and on the road. Suspension is completely adjustable.
