==2009 Aprilia RSV4 Factory==

The 2009 MY Aprilia RSV4 Factory is about as close to a WSBK-grade machine one could purchase, that can still be rode on public roads. It has, at its heart, a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 999cc, V-four cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission, and can reach a maximum power output of 180 horsepower and 115 Nm of torque. 

Being a Factory model, it boasts the best and latest technologies and parts from the House of Noale, such as a 43mm Ohlins upside-down fork, an Ohlins monoshock with APS and piggy-back cylinder, a Brembo braking system with dual, large 320mm discs in the front and a single unit in the rear, carbon-fiver body-parts, a special, non-slip seat and a digital instrumentation panel.

The RSV4 is the pure, unadulterated racing character in a bike which is designed to offer top- class WSBK-grade performance to the skilled rider. Available in both street trim and a racing livery, the 2008 RSV4 brings forth the adjustable-architecture frame which allows technicians to alter the headstock position and angle, engine height and swingarm pivot height.

Not exactly the best commuter, the 2008 Aprilia RSV4 will instead shine on the track or on the twisties, while it adjustable features will tailor both ergonomics and performance to the rider's preference. If you're not a WSBK rider, this is as close as one can get to a pro's machine.

Aprilia has loaded this bike with a slipper clutch, a cassette type gearbox, anodized aluminum frame and swingarm,  and a fully adjustable suspension. Ready for street use and still a force to be reckoned with on the weekend track, the 2009 RSV4 R is a superbike par excellence and should be dealt with accordingly.
