Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory


Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory Superbike

Winner of Motociclismo's 2006 'Master Bike' shootout, the V-twin Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory had the fastest top speed of any tested superbike at the end of six out of twelve straightaways, and was the fastest bike around ten out of twelve curves.



The RSV 1000R has a redesigned chassis that utilizes high-tech materials to reduce weight, and add to frame rigidity and stability. The 1000R "Factory" version is outfitted with full Öhlins Racing suspension components - front, and rear, as well as an Öhlins steering damper. The 43 mm front forks are coated with titanium nitride (TiN).

Aprilia's magnesium V60 engine is designed for maximum output (143hp @ 10,000rpm), while still meeting Euro 3 homologation standards.



The addition of carbon-fiber body parts and metal braided brake-lines compliments the final "Factory" package. The RSV 1000R Factory's forged aluminium wheels are fitted with Pirelli SuperCorsa Pro 120/70 - 190/55 ZR 17 tires.
