APRILIA RSV 1000R

During its first five years of life,the Aprilia RSV 1000 come to be regarded as one of the leading benchmarks for performance, rideability and track success. A supersport bike with pedigree which, thanks to its first-rate technology and value for performance, has won the hearts of 27,000 riders worldwide. But the time had come for Aprilia to improve its best. The RSV 1000 R inherits the full legacy of the previous model, but shifts all the technical and performance characteristics up and adds an R to its name to symbolize this increase. One of the best production twin-cylinder bike on the track today is even faster.
The main aim of the Aprilia RSV 1000 R project was in fact to increase on-track performance with a new engine, frame and swing arm. The overall layout is new: it is lower (-25 mm) shorter (-35 mm) and more compact. And the revolutionary design is new, with improved aerodynamic penetration. Aprilia says the RSV 1000 R sets a new benchmark for road sportbikes due to its technology and its extraordinary performance.
