Aprilia RSV 1000R Bol D'or

The RSV 1000 R has clearly demonstrated its true colours in the World Endurance Championship, where it has been the only production twin to achieve amazing results among so many four cylinder machines. In legendary races like the Suzuka 8 hours and massacring endurance trials like the Oschersleben 24 hours, the RSV 1000 R has proved to the world that it can out-perform the best and still remain totally reliable.

Top level racing has been an unforgettable experience for all involved, but has also served as a fantastic ‘test bench’ for the new racing solutions that are already appearing on Aprilia’s production bikes. Every aspect of the Aprilia RSV 1000 R has been improved, from the engine to the chassis and fairing.

An RSV becomes an integral part of its rider’s body. The footrests and handlebars are positioned to promote 100% active control. The sitting position leaves you totally free to move as you feel. As a result, riding an RSV 1000 R is physically and mentally more relaxing than riding any motorcycle of the competition.

The RSV 1000 R is a supersport for the expert, and is always in the lead – especially on the race track! Its amazing performance does not rely on horsepower alone, but is the result of a complete engine-frame-suspension-brakes package that delivers an unbeatably smooth ride. Total usability and easy control have always been features of the Aprilia RSV, and winning characteristics in Moto GP too.

The updated and better than ever Aprilia RSV 1000 R remains the undisputed leader among sports twins, not only for the amazing technology that has gone into it but for the breathtaking performance that comes out too!

What counts most, perhaps, is the fact that despite its blistering performance, the latest RSV 1000 R is still exceptionally easy to ride. Here is a motorcycle that inspires riders with instant confidence and lets everybody achieve maximum performance quickly and intuitively.

Easier control means less physical and mental fatigue, faster and safer riding, and longer lasting concentration. These are determining factors for success on the track and just as important on the road.

 The RSV 1000 R instantly inspires its rider with confidence to reach performance levels well beyond 4 cylinder machines of similar capacity for the same rider effort. Not only is the RSV 1000 R fast, competitive, easy and enjoyable to ride, it is also far more comfortable and aerodynamic than it competitors.

Its styling is uniquely aggressive and instantly recognisable too. Bigger and more imposing than other 1000cc bikes, the RSV nevertheless boasts a Cx similar to that of a Moto GP racing machine, while affording a level of comfort that is amazing for a sports bike.

The engine delivers superlative performance, thanks to smooth torque and perfect synergy with the frame, allowing the RSV 1000 R to maintain its reputation as one of the fastest of all road bikes on the race track. Proof of this is the large number of RSVs found in the paddocks on privateer race days.
