Description
Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 2010 Aprilia RSV4.
After a decade of its flagship V-Twin platform, Aprilia introduced the all-new RSV4 superbike in 2009. Built to compete in the 2009 World Superbike Championship series, the RSV4 was Aprilia’s first-ever four-cylinder model.
The RSV4’s chassis was 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.
The advanced frame was paired with an adjustable 43mm upside-down Showa fork and a Sachs mono-shock. Stopping duties went to a pair of 320mm rotors bit by radial-mount, four-pot Brembo calipers up front and a smaller disc pinched by a dual-piston unit in back. Other standard fare included steel-braided lines and 17-inch cast aluminum rims fore and aft.
But the star of the show was undoubtedly the new flagship’s liquid-cooled, 998.9cc, four-stroke, 16V, DOHC, 65-degree V4 engine. The exotic four-banger’s cylinders each featured their own twin injectors, the valve’s service interval was a cool 12,000-miles, plus it got ride-by-wire throttle, Weber-Marelli fuel-injection, and a trio of ride modes (Road, Sport, Track). The highly-compact V4 put down a whopping 180hp at 12,500rpm and 85 ft-lbs of torque at 10,000rpm. Quarter-mile runs take the V4 just 10.09 seconds, and with a 2.9-seconds 0-60mph time and a top speed of 180mph, calling the RSV4 “fast” is an understatement.
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 a decade since its initial release, the manufacturer has done very little to update its flagship’s look (aside from the addition of winglets). Why fix what isn’t broken…especially when it looks this good?
This example is VIN: ZD4RKC011AS000353. Per the seller, “Previous owner was a good friend of mine. I volunteered to help the current owner (father of deceased) sell it. I have better storage space and more knowledge of motorcycles. He felt it better that I help handle the sale for him.”
The odometer shows 11,650 miles.
