Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Aprilia RSV4 RF 2017
The Aprilia RSV4 RF is a compact power rocket that requires an expert hand to make perfect use of its strengths. It tends to get bumpy at the front when accelerating, which can be managed with the right weight shift and looseness on the handlebars. Brutal acceleration in front of an impressive sound backdrop (with Akrapovic exhaust) meets hard deceleration in the braking zone thanks to grown 330 discs. On the entry, the RSV stabs precisely into the radius and reacts almost like a 600cc in bends. The numerous electronic riding aids demand some occupation and attention as to which settings one has just saved.

The Aprilia stands out from the crowd with its sonorous V4 sound, sounding more like a two-cylinder than a screaming in-line four.

In terms of handling, it is very pleasant, even though you are sitting quite high up on it. It is a little too compact for tall riders. Compared to its predecessor, it is easier to ride, but at the same time much stronger and faster. It scores points especially on corner entry with great feedback from the front wheel.
