Aprilia FV2 1200






The FV2 1200 embodies the latest Aprilia technology and reveals
the direction likely to be taken by technical and stylistic development at
Aprilia in the near future.
The heart of the FV2 1200 is Aprilias mighty, 1200 cc, 90° V twin, a power
plant that confirms Aprilias determination to develop high capacity, high
technology engines using in-house skills and competence.

The minimalist bodywork of the FV2 1200 creates a stunning preponderance of
volume towards the front of the bike. The result is a revolutionary, courageous
and futuristic look that is destined to form the solid basis for the evolution
of Aprilia motorcycle styling.
The engine also fulfils a structural role, and acts as the
starting point for the backbone of the motorcycle, a carbon fibre, load bearing
frame with integrated filter box. The seat is supported by an aluminum beam and
by two carbon fibre struts that extend into the tail and around the rear light
cluster. The parallelogram front suspension is based on the system already tried
and tested on Aprilias 250 cc GP racers.

These futuristic solutions have led to an amazing weight reduction (the FV2 1200
weighs under 160 kg) and an extremely compact size. The extraordinary agility
that has always typified Aprilia motorcycles therefore finds its utmost
expression in the FV2 1200.



The 1200 cc V twin engine is liquid cooled and boast a
ride-by-wire control system. Traction control, a latest generation ABS system
and electronic suspension management are also provided to let you ride at your
performance peak while maintaining complete control over the bike.

The Aprilia FV2 1200s dashboard incorporates a multi-functional instrument
cluster that can be interfaced not only with the bikes own CAN line but with a
PC too, making it possible to download telemetric data for personal performance
evaluations, reconfigure the information shown on the matrix display, load new
mappings from the internet, display itineraries, and integrate GPRS and GSM
modules for mobile phone connectivity
