After a decade of producing its flagship V-Twin platform, Aprilia introduced its all-new RSV4 superbike in 2009. Built to compete in the 2009 World Superbike Championship series, the model was Aprilia’s first-ever four-cylinder offering. At the time, the RSV4’s chassis represented the latest in Aprilia’s line of Grand Prix-bred aluminum twin-spar frames. The trick twin-beam unit was constructed from a hybrid of cast and pressed sheet sections, offering the optimal balance of strength and rigidity. Equally race-inspired and derived from the same manufacturing techniques was the RSV4’s double-arch aluminum swingarm.
In 2019, Aprilia updated the RSV4 with the same 1,078cc 65-degree V-4 found in its Tuono 1100. Thanks to an increased bore (up from 78mm to 81mm), a 13.6:1 compression ratio, and an additional oil pump, the block generated a respectable 217hp at 13,200rpm and some 90lb-ft of torque at 11,000rpm. To keep its impressive powerplant in check, the RSV4 also benefitted from a suite of top shelf components and rider aids. Suspension duties were handled via a set of NIX 43mm inverted forks and a TTX piggyback shock, while braking was taken care of thanks to some four-pot Brembo Stylema calipers. And here’s the thing: because of Aprilia’s APRC electronics package, riders got cornering ABS, three engine map modes, as well as eight different levels of traction control, wheelie control, launch control, and even cruise control.
Sweetening the deal even further was the RSV4’s gorgeous Italian bodywork. The sharp symmetrical front fairing and angular tail section have been so unanimously adored, that — much like the iconic Tamburini-designed MV F4 — even after more than a decade since the bike’s initial release, Aprilia had done very little to update its looks (aside from the addition of winglets).

“Selling to free up cash for other projects. Ever since I test rode the ’19 RSV4 Factory 1100 at Moto Club in 2018, I’ve been on the hunt for one. Since at the time I was not in the position to purchase one. I was blown away by the handling and power. And of course the sharp looks and interesting tech features like lean angle indicator, brake pressure/throttle percentage display, and cruise control. I still think its one of the meanest looking bikes out there. As I was departing Moto Club on my SC59 Fireblade that day, I thought my bike felt so sluggish compared to what I had just ridden. Despite the Fireblade being such a capable bike. From that moment this model and specific year became a goal to add to my dream motorcycle line up. I was very happy to finally track this one down earlier this year. Even though I am selling this bike now, I will track down another when the time is right. After all, I believe the 2019 is the best RSV4 Factory year. A few reasons would be the reliability of the later Euro 4 1100 before Euro 5. A more unique design unlike newer RSV4 Factory models which look much closer to lower cc models such as RS660, large carbon winglets, exposed carbon fiber with a simple black on bronze color, and 2019 being the only year to have the top engine still used today making 217 horsepower, while using static Ohlins suspension, which is favored by many for its dependability on track and not lacking feel like newer semi active suspension. The only downsides of 2019 is lack of led headlights, or inverted swingarm.”
