Aprilia RSV 1000R Factory (2008)

The Aprilia RSV 1000R Factory: a machine born from the pursuit of perfection on the racetrack.

Its updated V60 Magnesium engine roars to life, unleashing a torrent of power that is perfectly balanced by its remarkably agile handling. With an aluminium alloy double member swingarm and Aprilia Progressive System (APS) linkages, every twist of the throttle is met with swift and precise response from the rear wheel.

The RSV 1000R Factory’s exceptional prowess was recently demonstrated at the Master Bike competition, where it dominated the final points table and emerged as the most efficient winning machine on the track.
