In 2008, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory, a sports motorcycle that debuted in 2004 alongside the standard RSV 1000 R. In addition, the maker released a special edition RSV 1000 R Nera version, made in 200 units.
The 2008 model came with basically the same package as the previous one, featuring the same technical and performance specifications except for several aesthetic modifications.
In the visual department, the bike had an aggressive look and packed standard features, such as a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, a single seat with a passenger seat cover, a two-into-two exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and a 10-spoke wheel on the rear and a 12-spoke wheel on the front.
For suspension, the bike packed a 43 mm upside-down adjustable Ohlins fork with 120 mm of travel on the front and a dual-sided banana swingarm coupled to an adjustable Sachs shock absorber with 133 mm of travel on the rear.
As for power, the 2008 Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory had installed a 998cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine with a fuel injection system in charge of feeding the pistons, boasting 143 hp at 10,000 rpm and 107 Nm (79 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.
The power was sent to a six-speed transmission with a manual clutch and then sent to the rear wheel via a final chain drive, making the motorcycle hit a top speed of 278 kph (173 mph).
