Aprilia RSV 1000R 10th Anniversary Special Edition (2008)

The Aprilia RSV 1000R Special Edition commemorates a decade of exceptional sportsbikes from Aprilia. This unique machine boasts an aluminium alloy double banana swing arm, paired with an APS progressive system linkage, and a Sachs hydraulic shock-absorber for unparalleled handling.

At the heart of this celebration lies a powerful v-twin engine, delivering an exhilarating riding experience that’s both precise and responsive. The Special Edition’s engine character is unmistakably Aprilia – raw, emotional, and always up for a challenge.

Surrey paint shop Altamura has meticulously crafted a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, featuring the original purple/orange silver colour combination from the first RSV1000, reimagined with modern graphics and detailing. The result is an unmistakable visual statement that perfectly captures the essence of Aprilia’s 10th anniversary RSV-R.
