- The RSV4 RF is a very special motorcycle and I've been lucky enough to convince Aprilia UK to loaned me a 2017 RSV4 RF for a week! This is my first impressions video of this amazing machine but many more videos to follow! It really is rather special

Thank you
LC
These are actually sort of common here in Southern California. Ducatis are becoming yawn here as the Ducs became more attainable 5-7yrs ago w the price drops. Aprillia is the top choice here to stand out of the posuer Duc crowd
It is phenomenal. I bought a 2016 RSV4 RF last year. It is by far the best bike I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot.......Yes, the sound is incredible......stock.........brilliant.
whydo you not have more subscribers!? this is amazing video quality! you obvioulsy know what you are doing!
Thanks dude appreciated
Stunning bike. It's an incredible weapon for the track but I just wouldn't trust myself on the road. I agree with you about people buying blades and the like. That thing is way cooler and the best sounding machine I've ever heard. If you need a second opinion call me... 😂
Awesome awesome video, the Tuono and the rsv4 are bar none The two top best bikes out there in my honest opinion!
+scott1111 yup both certainly very special indeed
Bar none! No comparison on earth.
V4's and motorcycles are a match made in heaven!
Absolutly I have 2015 Rsv4 rf most amazing bike does everything perfect best $15,000 spent this summer
Absolutely incredible machine but overkill for the road, you just want to nail the throttle everywhere on em!
I thought the same thing regarding sales...... I think people view Italian bikes with a little apprehension regarding reliability, and that combined with the price, and perhaps the fear of having to find a dealer, they don't take the leap. My dealership is admittedly a fair distance, but the bike has been flawless. When you add up the forged wheels, V4 power and sound, Italian styling, reliability, Ohlins suspension.........for me it was a no brainer.
if you unhook butterfly valve its no flat at low rpms ,Makes a big difference 0 to 6000 rpms I own a 2016 its crazy fast
To answer your question - maintenance/service cost, insurance, dealer network, marketing, availability, and lack of baby-makers :D
I like in the intro when he inverted the colours, looks like a nice style
had mine a couple weeks now & clocked 360 miles up. Love it more with every ride ! you will have a blast :-)
Engine is amazing - I found TRACK the best map for the road as it is more responsive at low RPM than RACE, bit less engine braking than SPORT mode, brakes are bloody amazing on the thing ! I had a 2013 Factory and this is another level - enjoy :-)
+S K yes agreed SK it's an amazing amazing bike. There is nothing I can criticise regarding this bike other than its too mental for the road! Wish I could try it on track one day!
I got my 16 rf for 16,000 over last winter and yes it is mental .
Honestly, am I the only one who doesn't like the sound of the RSV4 V4? That said, I really appreciate its sound for its unique character and for standing out in the big crowd of Japanese inline 4 cyls (maybe with exception of the crossplane R1). This bike really has something unique to it, some soul, even despite I'm not directly enjoying the sound.
But I think my fav sound would have to be the MV Agusta F3 800, that is just mean and powerful, yet beautiful at the same time!
Daniel Kemnitz yes you are the only one lol
Wow, what an amazing video to find at 0130 in the morning! Awesome editing and excellent commentary on my dream bike. Liked and subbed!
+tia ria thanks 😎👍👍
Hey chops, great vid, I was out on the RSV4 RF today...clocked 150 miles, I loved it, I still have standard exhaust and agree that it sounds really good when you get some Revs up, and as you say its a mental bike to ride but in a really good way, I have a 1199 Ducati Panigale, that now will be taking a back seat, got to say that the downshift on the RSV4 is amazing.. when you go into a turn at a fair lean angle and realise you are in one gear to high/tall, the ease of just tapping the gear shift lever down without using clutch is a game changer and defiantly a safety feature too.. and what about that torque ..OMG, still got AWC @ 3 though, I'm working on it. ^^ lol.
+PointBlank Racer haha quite a machine isn't it! I've not tried a Panagale yet but interesting you say it's taking a back seat to this... best thing about the bike is the blipper absolutely love it! 😎😎
I say this only because RSV4 is a new bike and I bought it with the intension to ride it as much as possible instead of the Panigale due to the 3000 mile a year deal I have with the finance, plus I can trade in for newer model after 3 years...and keep my beloved Ducati in the front room getting hardly any miles on it plus I can admire her and polish and spoil her/me, I tried the Rsv4 and it just didn't cut it .. oops sorry if I offend lol, looks wise doesn't compare, Yea it's getting weird so I will stop there lol ,I didn't mean to imply one was better than the other in performance.. though hands down I way prefer the look and styling and build quality of the Ducati... just my opinion. xD
That 'Nice' was borderline Michael Rosen territory but fully adequate for describing the bike! 😂
you must feel like a kid in a candy store, chops. I bet you haven't left your garage for the last few weeks. Just sitting and looking at these aprilia's. magnificent machine's! 🖒
+Craig Millard haha your not wrong 😎😎
Always always liked the big aprillias. Couple more years and more experience under me belt and the fact I've just bought a Daytona 675r and I'll have one of these next I think
The English countryside looks very nice as well. Fantastic day for a ride.
I just bought a Rsv4 2010 tho, but god it is a wonderfull bike. And 1 thing i found really good except evrything, is that u can lock your legs in, really good on. Even if u aren't that tall im 174 cm and i have no problems at all locking my legs around that tank.
Yes tank shape is great, its just another of the little things they have thought about and is spot on
Come on LC, it's time you got off that fence. So did you like it or not?! 😛
Great vid Thanks .I raced my buddies tuono on the highway was shocked at the difference. The tuono was a blast to ride .Might get one someday
Hi great video. I was thinking of getting either the BMW HP4 Carbon or the Aprilia RSV4 RF. Which do you think is the better bike after having a Triumph daytona 675? Cheers LCR
Awesome work Chops. Bloody impressive motorcycle. Real impressive. I wish I had AUD$33,500.00 to spend (based on the £20,000 figure). Never before has a personal loan seen logical to me LOL.
just bought a 2019 :) gettin delivered next week. killer deal. i got the rr though
Loved the intro, I put a lot of effort into my reviews, glad to see you also work hard on it.
Thanks Rahul, just took a look and subbed to your channel very nice!
Lamb Chop Rides you will get a lot bigger if you keep doing videos like this.
I'm yet to ride a v4 but I know I want to soon!
I feel the need the need for speed, I haft to break in my 2017 Kawasaki ZX-10R this weekend, so I can do my first track day of the year!
That's one beastly sounding 125cc 🤙
Slipping Jimmy I seriously hope that was a joke?
Mal Reynolds But it's also a 4 stroke so 4*4=16 litres.
lol
Mr. Dog Scania v8 power!
it's at least 16,000CC maybe 20,000CC!
Either your sub count is broken, or UA-cam buries your videos in a field out in the countryside. unbelievably good shit Chopsy
+MoreThanExpected1 haha thanks dude! 👍👍
I sold my 15 R1m so i can get a 2018 rsv4 rf with the factory works kit. Yes, i want the winglets.
Those winglets are a bit Marmite, not sure I would want them hehe, fantastic bike though
Lamb Chop Rides true, a couple months from now, a handful of Chinese companies will sell winglets for everything, lol
Trackappeal not to mention 215 fucking horsepower out of 999cc engine! Ducati's v4 gets only 214 out of it's 1299cc... No comparison whatsoever. RSV4 is the best sportbike on the planet.
whats the petrol to fun ratio like
+frozen not too bad... slightly more fuel than blade but not enough to worry about
I've got a 2016 RSV4 RF, the fuel consumption is no more than you'd expect for any high performance superbike. It's actually quite reasonable, but more importantly, unlike the Ducati, the fuel tank is large enough that you have a very decent range.
At 7:16 the left turn with the oncoming car caused the American in me to go into full pucker! I thought for a moment that you bought that bike! Subbing for the 15K push!
+James Thurman thanks James appreciated buddy 😎👍
I'm thinking he might get intoxicated 😵 by riding it 🤣 ! He got drunk 😵 by listening the pure V4 engine sound 🔊
This with an sc exhaust sounds unreal
Mate your Moto content and production value is up with the best, if not better. Thank you.
+Christian Johnston cheers Christian really appreciate that 👍
As always love the vid chop. I just sold my 1290 Superduke and have bought one of these. It arrives next week. Cant wait!
Very nice Darryn, I almost bought one too!
Ahh..love the RF..sick bike! 🏍😋👌
ive just got my 2017 Aprilia RS 125, I'm almost there!!!
john tucker i thought they quit making rs 125 like 6 years ago, i have 2011 rs125. Isnt it the RS4 125 which they make nowadays?
www.colchesterkawasaki.co.uk/road-bikes/aprilia/aprilia-rs-125
unless its called something different in your country :)
N-N-N-N-NICE! Looking forward to the videos of this beast. Incredible bike. Perhaps one day in 2027 when I can buy this for a bargain :)
+WickedDimension haha start saving now!
The skill is going out of biking as the computer does everything a skilled rider used to do i.e. control the bike in all weathers and in every situation!
you lucky git! thats my dream bike right there.
you do a great channel so it's good to see you getting some awesome benefits.
+skinny slug cheers Dude! Yeah nice to get benefits feeling like the luckiest man alive right now 😎😎
I recently got rid of my 09 R1 and I’m trying to debate between this bike or the cbr1000 SP1 next. Either way I want something special. You mentioned you’re big, how big are you? I’m 6’4” or 193cm and 200 pounds. My build is mostly legs and my legs hit the fairing on the r1 and would cut me over bumps. How’s the fit on this bike
The Fireblade has come out as a winner.. I guess it's about living with the bike as well and secondly hardly anyone knows about Aprilia outside Europe.
I'm in Canada. I love my RSV4 RF........yes.........we do know about them......... I've owned 3 CBRs.........the Aprilia is in a league of it's own.
Lee Douglas good for you bud
this bike will be my second option if i somehow decide not to get the s1000rr. but the s1000rr maybe suitable for my daily commuting.
I just bought the RF, and in my opinion, it's more comfortable than my S1000RR. I'm a big guy though, so try it before you buy of course. Hope this helps.
One of the best motorcycle in the world.
RSV4 is just so nice!!!!! Is RSV4 that much better than tuono in terms of the accelerations? and do you think I could ride this with ease on the street compare to the tuono?? I am just loving this RSV4 so much!!
The RSV4 is faster, but the Tuono IMO is the better road bike. RSV4 is just too much for the road!!
I see..both of them are just so nice..I will own both of them if I could..lol...did you own any of them? or will you get yourself either 1?
Great vids mate, hope you test the "pit limiter" function... should be fun with limiter bouncin ay
The exhaust valve doesn't open until 6000 rpms
nice one LC, maybe you need to script some of your vlog now......I'd be the gibbering the same too thou'. so whars your plans for the week?
Nice overview! How do you compare it to the S1000RRs you've ridden in the past?
Great Bike, I love the sound. Not sure about the front headlight etc.
Yes think the headlights need an led makeover tbh.
i mean lets be honest i love this channel and i was looking forward for all the review... but after crashing my bike a few days ago im even more excited about the review because i need a new one :D
+ONElvlToHighFORyOU oh no sorry to hear that dude! Hope you OK, I will have to do enough riding for the both of us!
should be lucky to be even alive if i see the wreck i left... but im even more lucky and only have bruises and sour muscles af but not even a scratch or something broken so im pretty chilled about it :)
how is the heat on the bike when you are in traffic with pinegale 1299 is boiling hot.
+LonDuc no heat at all as exhaust is in the proper place 😊
Looks fantastic. Scary fast 😆
very incredible bike I wish I could be in your place right now,be owner of beasty and have a chance to have bikes for long term review lol great job with the editing its amazing!
+Mauro 954rr thanks Mauro!!
Bit more uncomfortable, but its also that little bit more mental. Can't wait for the launch control test on this ;) God damn the sound of that v4 when you use the quickshifter and the blipper. The gloss black mirrors are a nice touch, but the best thing about the looks, for me anyway, are those satin-red forged wheels :D Glad you've got another toy to play with. Enjoy Chops :D
+Samuel Wicks I have tested launch control off camera already and it's less scary than Tuono as your over the front of the bike and 1st gear is massively long. It's incredible but give me the tuono
Yeah i suppose as there is more weight on the bars/front end as you say. After doing test training on the MT07, I definitely feel that a torquey naked is the best bike for the road
Best engine and sportbike top to bottom in the entire fucking world. Period.
Lamb! Love your videos I watch over and over here in the states. I would like to ask how tall you are and weight? As to have a reference for myself (6”6 240lbs).Love your commentary and lingo I laugh out loud every video and my wife is like. YOUR OBSESSED with him haha. My boys love watching the “fast bikes” as well.
Thanks very much Jacob really appreciate the kind words 👍 I weight 19 stone.. you will have to do the conversion, I'm 6 foot 2 so larger hehe
Do you think you can do long distance touring on this? How long can you ride without wrist and bum pain.
+Rocky Pingale no its a bit too cramped for real long distance.. well providing you stop and rest it's possible. Seat isn't too bad didn't get a sore bum though
Thank you, Lamb chop. I love your reviews, keep up the good work
damn..got to go to the dealers this saturday to see whats the pricing like..
Is this a better track bike compared to the yamaha r1?
Would it be an exaggeration to say that this is the leading litre bike?
UPDATE ?? or are you too busy riding ? :-) just about to roll mine out now and have a blast!
Soon SK soon :-) Hope you had a good blast matey!!
Beautiful bike man!
come on LC, whens the next instalment?
So I guess you take back what you said about there being no need for a sports bike in your last video? Haha, enjoy mate, very envious here
Hi..is the quickshifter automatically on or u need to activate it same as panigale 1299..?
It can be turned on and off from the menu system. I just left it on..
Your new favourite word "mental"! Lovely bike but an organ donator if ever I've seen one.
+Dougie yeah it's too mental for me, actually sort of relieved it's going back while I have a licence still!
Does that mean you have decided on the next bike being a Tuono or a Superduke?
Great video, would you take this over the tuono?
+The Incredible Sulk it's just too much as a road bike I honestly think I would kill myself or my license... give me the Tuono any day
+Lamb Chop Rides haha great answer, although you didn't seem to be hanging about on the Tuono either ;)
it is possible to ride it sensibly - I have just done the 600 mile run-in very sensibly - I am not sure about the next 600 miles though - lol !
Hi MR Lamb chop I'm interested in purchasing a Aprilia RSV4 I've ridden the 2015 tuono and was very I priest by its performance, I've been a subscriber to you for about a year now, basically can I turn the RF in to a tuono or can anyone help, , what would you prefer wish I could chat to you about it. Thanks for your time please message me back kind regards Simon.
Norton V4 sounds just as awesome
Yes funny that eh... same engine!
Loving the reviews. Any chance of getting the new Shiver 900 for a test? That's a bike i'm considering because I know myself and my licence would be gone on this bike in a week. At least, if I don't crash it first.
+Mr. Dog yew spoke to Aprilia and when they get the bike I can borrow it 😀 looks like it could be a fantastic bike looking at specs
Lamb Chop Rides Looking forward to the video!
I agree with all your claims,
Bare none
Love your reviews m8. Ride safe.
Oi....LC...you up for an RSV4 based road trip tomorrow? As in...saturday 17th?? im going on mine to a forum BBQ in Derby...
Its gone back already dude, videos are about a week behind. Derby is also the other end of the earth haha :-)
Ah - power of the internet....yeah - along way for me (Bristol) but its going to be hot as tomorrow....just trying to decide now, what to take...z1000 or rsv4...never been before but its apparently very busy (the whole road fills up with bikes..
Brilliant video man!
Hi LCR what an epic bike you lucky monster ha ha. Do you happen to know which bike company it is that is having bother re bikes they make aren't actually financed properly? I remember something in the news about an Italian bike manufacturer selling bikes that weren't paid for so the finance company was going round and just uplifting the bikes. It looks way better than a 3 yr old new paint scheme sp1 any day, sounds better and looks awesome. As TheMissendenFlyer would say it looks like an angry wasp from the front, the tail could be tidied up if needed. Ride safe mate and no points allowed ha ha.
That was MV who had those problems, dont think it was MV's fault but one of their dealers being naughty. Certainly nothing to do with Aprilia :-)
wonderfoul
That bike is n-n-n-nice! Tad jealous...
Love the bike great review as always. Doesn't wanna make me chop the r1m in though.
+Steve R1 thanks Steve! I've yet to try an R1 but hopefully soon
I think they should give you one for the nice reviews. 😁 sick bike.
+KeepTheCoffeeOn yeah me too! 😎😎
A pile of gravel as a backdrop does not do a superbike justice. And did you say shacie? or chassis?
what mpg were you getting?
Love your review ❤
Definitely worth saving up for !
+ft rider yeah it's a bit special 😎
Lamb Chop Rides loved the max headroom style, it's n n n n nice! ha ha
+ft rider yeah was thinking time for max headroom to make a comeback 😀😀
Lamb Chop Rides definitely :-D
When are you gonna review the R1?
+Tobi Ogunsanwo when yamaha answer my emails 😁
Aprillia only make fast sexy bikes :-)
BAZZASTUONO rs50?
Honda cbr1000 vs aprilia rsv4 vs yamaha r1? Opinions pls;)
McTJ 1. RSV4 2. R1M 3. Honda
I've owned at least 10 sport bikes over the years, with most of them Japanese, and a couple Ducatis. My Aprilia RSV4 RF is far superior to them all. I grew out of Japanese bikes years ago. They simply don't have the desirability of the Italian bikes. They don't have the styling or the sound. I owned my 999 for over a decade. I've never owned a CBR, GSX-R, ZX-7 etc. for more than a couple years........
Rsv4 but not for long rides I also own a gixxer 1000 its more comfortable. I recommend having a 2nd bike if you have a ducati or aprilia.Bmw s1000rr is comfortable. I dont ride my rf very long ,but its a blast.
i love the inline 4 sound so i would actually chose the s1000rr. Crazy fast really comfortable and overall eazy to ride. Is the best fun/rideing to work or whatever motocycle. It may not be the fastest but who needs that? You are not going to race someone with it , and even if you are 1000cc bikes destroy every single car on the road. Bmw is also reliable... I feel like a lot of people are immature about this subject... you don't need the fastest thing you need the thing that is fast cause we all know that is fun but if it's down 10-15hp who cares? S1000RR in my opinion is the best bike. Awesome sound with lot's of pops , comfortable, crazy fast and a lot of tech.
You had me at RSV
What about zx10r? I mean sound.
+Ad. PhotoGraphs not even close to the sound this makes sorry
Nah, it's not "absolutely mental." Not after (and if) you take an H2R for a spin.
+Lifted_Above haha yeah I can image!! Would love to try the H2 😎😎
Lifted_Above who the fuck wants to? It looks like something out of a futuristic comic book. Fuck that shit.
I don't know what I enjoyed better, the bike or your amazing commentary?!! #Brilliant! Question- is it a really hot bike when riding for say -2 hrs straight or more? Does the seat really like torch your arse and bullocks? Cheers!
+Don Mega thanks Don, no heat from the seat at all! The exhaust doesn't pass close like the Panigale does so it's all good 😎
No it doesn't. I heard the Ducati was pretty bad, which was one of the reasons I bought the RSV4 RF.
What a great vid!
What's the intro song anyone know?
king richards I think it's from NCS UA-cam channel, don't remember the name
The Fireblade is the Fireblade mate. Don't waste your time wondering about it. That's an amazing bike and I would love to have one but for me, as for lots of people, there is and always was only one bike. The Fireblade.
Reliability issues and hard to find dealers/service workshops is the answer.
Håkan H Like cars, Italian bikes are more risky to own, but probably more exciting. But you're right. Would much rather own something like a S1000rr where dealers/mechanics are everywhere, parts are more cheap/available, etc.
What reliability issues? Mine is just as reliable as any other bike!
Adam S well i've seen electrical problems, gearbox problems within 1200 miles, valves needs to be checked at 600 miles and more often than recommended interval so on. However all these problems have occured on racebikes.
Brill!
Nice review. I found it the most uncomfortable bike I've ever ridden but still a stunner! I agree there should be more V4's on the road, people are naive to overlook them.
+Jim 86 yes it's way to small for me and bars are quiet a reach. I'm not sure why people overlook it I really don't understand why these are not everywhere... people need to test ride one before they spend out on new Fireblades sp1 as it's a way more exciting machine Imo
Completely agree, I miss my Tuono 1100... So tempting to pull the trigger on a new one.
Tempted to go back to a Tuono... How to you rate it compared to the 1290 SuperDuke?
I like Aprilia but to me the fairings are just awful. In my opinion only if they made solid color fairings that would look cool.
