Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2014 Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC ABS, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of racing while delivering an exhilarating ride for both track enthusiasts and street riders alike. With a price tag of $20,499, this Italian sportbike is positioned as a premium offering in the competitive market of high-performance motorcycles. Renowned for its racing pedigree, the RSV4 Factory stands out with its aggressive styling and advanced technology, making it a top contender for those who crave both power and precision. At the heart of the RSV4 Factory is a powerful 999.6 cc V4 engine that produces an impressive 184 HP at 12,500 RPM and a torque of 117 Nm at 10,000 RPM. This engine is not only designed for raw power but also for refined performance, thanks to its sophisticated fuel injection system and a compression ratio of 13.0:1. Riders can expect a thrilling acceleration and a seamless power delivery experience, facilitated by the 6-speed gearbox and the multi-disc oil-bath clutch with a slipper system. The lightweight chassis, tipping the scales at just 181 kg, combined with a power-to-weight ratio of 1.0166 HP/kg, guarantees agile handling and exceptional cornering capabilities, making every ride a race-ready experience. The technical prowess of the RSV4 Factory is amplified by its cutting-edge features, including the Aprilia Performance Ride Control (APRC) system. This advanced technology encompasses traction control, wheelie control, and launch control, all of which can be adjusted on-the-fly via a joystick on the left handlebar. Additionally, the Ohlins racing suspension—both front and rear—offers extensive adjustability to fine-tune the ride to your specific needs, whether on the track or the open road. The ABS-equipped brakes provide confidence-inspiring stopping power, ensuring the rider's safety while maintaining the thrill of high-speed riding. With a sleek racing black finish accented by bold red and gold touches, the RSV4 Factory is as striking visually as it is mechanically. **
