2018 Aprilia RSVR RF Limited Edition
When we rode the refined 2017 Aprilia RSV4 RF at Circuit of the Americas, an immediate romance began for the revamped V4 superbike.
Much of this romance is attributed to the RSV4’s 65-degree, 999.6cc V4 powerplant that produces 201 horsepower and 84.8 ft/lbs of torque.
But it’s not just about the high numbers; the Aprilia’s 65-degree V4 produces gobs of power everywhere. Also, the Ohlins suspension combined with the bike’s overall slim design makes us normal riders feel like racers on the circuit – especially one like COTA, MotoGP and Formula One track.
Aprilia wants to take that racer feel one level closer with with its newest release – the Aprilia RSV4 RF Limited Edition. And limited means limited – only 125 of these will be produced

Nice to see they are trying to bring MotoGP tech to the road though. 
Is that it? They’ve added those daft hamster cheek things to the side of the bike and are now selling it as a limited edition. The world has officially gone mad. This bike has been around for over a decade now, with the odd minor tweak. When’s the new model coming out?
Oh yeah, how much is it? My money is on £30,000 to cover the cost of those stupid wing things and the claim of exclusivity.

Hmm. I think things with wings that can't fly aren't very inspiring. I just think of things like sanitary towels, penguins, and my mother in law.
Also I know it's my problem, but I'm not loving the colour scheme. We get it Aprilia, you're Italian and culturally acceptable racism means you have done the bike in your country flag colours. You represent a nation which is very proud to have built something which will be wonderful for the 2,000 miles before it implodes, and you then your workshop will, characteristically shrug their shoulders before refusing to provide parts for months because of some mad f
king working practice like you don't work Thursdays, or accept incoming calls from anyone not called "Dino" . Then despite knowing you half arsed a part, like the welding of your swing arms, you only bought about seven replacements for a thousand motorcycles. So will make buyers wait three months before throwing it at their feet in your workshop with no words said, then fking off to smoke a fag.
That aside. Who wouldn't want one?

Would shave 7 or 8 nanoseconds off the commute.
Just think what I could do with that 40 nanoseconds each week.
You'd have sex? Just think what I could do with that 40 nanoseconds each week.
