APRILIA RSV4 RF (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Aprilia RSV4 is a sports motorcycle manufactured by Aprilia in 2009 as a successor model for the Aprilia RSV 1000 R. The RSV4 continued production until the present (2023). At first, the bike was offered in RSV4 Factory and RSV4 R limited edition versions.

In 2016, the bikes were offered in RSV4 RR and RSV4 RF versions. Both machines were developed to take advantage of and comply with the 2016 Superbike rules that allowed fewer modifications for production models. The 2016 model was lighter, more powerful, and had improved handling and electronics.

In 2017, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia RSV4 RF, a motorcycle made in limited numbers, 500 units to be more exact. The bike had highly sophisticated and comprehensive electronic aids.

It had the Aprilia Performance Ride Control (APRC) as standard, which included several electronic aids, such as Aprilia Traction Control (ATC), Aprilia Wheelie Control (AWC), Aprilia Launch Control (ALC), Aprilia Quick Shift (AQS), Aprilia Pit Limiter (APL), and Aprilia Cruise Control (ACC).

At its core, the 2017 Aprilia RSV4 RF had installed a 999cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-4 powerhouse fed by a fuel injection system, delivering an output power of 201 hp with maximum force at 13,000 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) torque at 10,500 rpm.

The bike engine was married to a six-speed cassette-type gearbox that sent the power from the engine to the rear wheel through a final chain drive.
