APRILIA RS4 50 Replica (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2014, the Italian bike maker released the Aprilia RS4 50 Replica, a motorcycle which, unlike previous models, came with a race-derived color scheme and "33" Marco Melandri decals, all at the same price as the base model.

The bike's appearance was characterized by standard features, such as a full fairing, three headlights, an aggressive design with several decals, a single exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the right-hand side, and six Y-shaped spoke wheels.

The race-derived motorcycle was built around an aluminum frame with a 41 mm inverted telescopic fork on the front, offering 110 mm of travel, and an asymmetric swingarm with a monoshock on the rear, providing 130 mm of travel.

As for power, the 2014 Aprilia RS4 50 Replica took its muscles from a 49cc two-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine paired to a six-speed manual transmission and a final chain drive that pushed the motorcycle to 97 kph (60 mph).

From top speed to a complete stop, the motorcycle relied on a 300 mm stainless steel rotor mounted on the front wheel with a four-piston caliper and a 218 mm brake disc on the rear wheel coupled to a single-piston caliper.

The bike was also available with an option called Aprilia Quick Shift (AQS), a technical solution borrowed from the RSV4 model that allowed the rider to reach a higher gear without using the clutch, making it easier and faster to change gears.
