Motorcycle specifications Aprilia1000 RSV4 RF 2016 Aprilia's glory

With this RSV4-RF, the aura of Superbike takes hold of you. Bye bye RSV4 Factory. Once the top-of-the-range version of Aprilia's hyperpsort, the Factory is no longer relevant now that the RSV4-RR has stolen all its technology. The only things missing are Swedish suspension and lightened rims... available as part of the "Race Pack".

but don't let that stop you from fantasizing. And Aprilia is not shying away from offering us a little more fantasy with this RF special series. 500 units to transcend fans' imaginations, and take them a little closer to Superbike with its "Superpole" color scheme and equipment. In fact, the RF stands out from the crowd with its original Öhlins fork, rear shock absorber and steering damper, plus forged aluminum wheels. With this look, you'd think it had escaped from the paddock. And in fact, it's almost the truth. To get to the bottom of it, let's go back to the 1000 RSV4 RR specification sheet and summarize the essentials. A millstone whose V4 has been seriously overhauled to produce 201 horsepower, an even sharper chassis with a longer swingarm, adjustable engine positioning in the frame, optimized and fine-tuned electronics, sporty ABS, APRC (traction control, anti-wheeling, anti-skid, anti-lock braking, etc.) and an even more powerful engine.(traction control, anti-wheeling, start assist, shifter) and several riding modes, telemetry that can be consulted and configured via smartphone, and a design that's as seductive as ever, with a subtle facelift - without a doubt one of the most accomplished hyper-sports on the market.

For 2016, the graphics have been touched up very slightly, the V4-MP telemetry platform is supplied as standard and the Öhlins damping has been optimized.
