Spesifikasi Aprilia RSV4-2009

Aprilia is back. And they aren't messing around. Or at least so they say. And judging by their 2009 World Superbike rider lineup of multi-time 250cc GP world champion Max Biaggi and Alex Hofmann (current test rider), both of whom have an uber-long list of racing credentials, we think it would be best for the competition to take them seriously. We are.

The WSBK boys will be astride the all-new RSV4, a first for the Italian marque, which until now has been known for its V-Twin sport motorcycles and an ever-growing scooter lineup. The 65-degree V-Four engine sits at 998.9cc, just under the 1000cc Superbike limit, and features "total electronic engine management," thus we expect fly-by-wire throttle and traction control to come as standard equipment. They claim these electronics will be managing in the neighborhood of 180 horsepower, putting it right up there with the best of them.
