T
he RSV4 has been Aprilia's greatest suc-
cess in the past eight years, not only for
providing race teams with an ultra-compet-
itive homologated platform in which three World
Superbike and one FIM Superstock 1000 Cup
Championships were won, but also for amassing
critical acclaim for their motorcycle in street trim.
In a world of ever-increasing government
regulations on safety, liability, noise and pollu-
tion, Aprilia has remained steadfast in trying to
keep its flagship V4 RSV4 sportbike at the cutting
edge of technology, performance and reliability.
Over the years, they've tackled these challenges
by implementing subtle but relevant changes to
each subsequent model year, including engine
enhancements, chassis tweaks, improved rider
ergonomics, refined aerodynamics and especially
upgraded electronics.
