The 2009 MY Aprilia RSV4 R is one of the more accessible and tamed superbikes from the House of Noale, both in terms of performance as well as the price tag. At its heart, lies a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, V-four cylinder powerplant mated to a six-speed manual transmission, and can produce a claimed 180 horsepower and 115 Nm of torque.

The 2009 RSV4 R is another sizzling bike from Aprilia, dedicated to riders who are looking for a sport bike but not one loaded with WSBK-grade features down to the minute details. If an adjustable frame architecture and engine are things you can do without, but the traditional RSV4 performance is not a matter to be discussed, then the 2009 RSV4 R might be just the right choice.
