Pros and Cons in comparison

Aprilia RSV 4 Factory 2012

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory 2019

The fact that the Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory is new can be seen in the displacement - the increase to 1077 cubic metres means that a massive 217 hp and 122 Newton metres of torque are now available. This makes the RSV4 one of the strongest on the racetrack, but also a superior country road fighter. In all other respects, such as chassis, suspension and geometry, the Factory version with Öhlins suspension elements embodies the racing idea in a really serious way. Even the cool winglets on the side are no joke, but derived directly from the RS-GP MotoGP bike. The rest of the design is old, but certainly not boring.

Superb engine

brilliant sound

brutal brakes

Öhlins suspension

full electronics package

automatic gearshift with blipper

sporty ergonomics

cool winglets.

Little torque in the rev range

too much information for the too small colour TFT display
