Overview

Introducing the 2007 Aprilia RSV 1000R Factory, a striking blend of cutting-edge technology and racing pedigree that solidifies its position as a premier sport motorcycle. This machine is not just an eye-catcher with its aggressive lines and vibrant graphics; it embodies the spirit of performance racing that Aprilia is renowned for. Designed for enthusiasts who crave both track-ready capabilities and exhilarating street performance, the RSV 1000R Factory is a testament to Aprilia's commitment to innovation and engineering excellence. At the heart of the RSV 1000R Factory lies a 997.6 cc V2 four-stroke engine that roars to life with a powerful 143 horsepower at a thrilling 10,000 RPM. The bike's torque delivery is equally impressive, generating 101 Nm at 8,000 RPM, resulting in a riding experience that's both exhilarating and responsive. The sophisticated fuel injection system, featuring a 10.3-litre airbox and 57 mm throttle bodies, ensures optimal performance across the rev range, while the multi-plate clutch with patented power-assisted hydraulic control provides seamless gear transitions. The 6-speed gearbox, combined with an agile chassis, translates into an unmatched connection between rider and machine, whether you’re tackling winding backroads or hitting the track. The Aprilia RSV 1000R Factory is packed with features that elevate its performance and handling. The box section sloping twin-spar aluminum frame contributes to its rigidity and lightweight design, weighing in at just 185 kg. Front suspension duties are handled by a 43 mm Öhlins titanium nitride-coated upside-down fork, offering 120 mm of travel, while the rear suspension employs an aluminum alloy double-arched swingarm with Aprilia’s Progressive System (APS), delivering 133 mm of travel. The high-performance Brembo brakes, with double discs at the front and a single disc at the rear, provide exceptional stopping power, ensuring confidence-inspiring braking at high speeds. With a seat height of 810 mm, the RSV 1000R Factory caters to a wide range of riders, making it as approachable as it is exhilarating. **

Pros

  • Exceptional Performance: The potent V2 engine delivers thrilling acceleration and a ferocious powerband, making it a joy to ride on both the road and racetrack.
  • Advanced Suspension: The Öhlins front fork and APS rear suspension offer superior handling and comfort, allowing for precise cornering and stability.
  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing in at just 185 kg, the RSV 1000R Factory's lightweight construction contributes to its nimble handling and responsiveness.

Cons

  • Seat Height: At 810 mm, the seat may be challenging for shorter riders to manage comfortably at stops.
  • Fuel Capacity: With an 18-litre tank, fuel range may be limited for long-distance touring compared to some competitors in the sport category.
