The subscription model of features is going to end up being a no-go for me and others that I know. If the hardware is already there, just have it available for use. If you want to restrict access, then don't put the hardware in place. Especially when it's something like heated grips or seat, the harness can be uniform across the range, but don't install the seat or grips with the heater elements.
This is absolutely mind-blowing. I never thought I'd wanna sell my S1KRR as specially after 10k$ in mods. But this is everything I always wanted. As specially the power delivery and sound of the V-4.

@IgorHolizna Well it's a hell of alot more exotic. I'm happy used prices on the Beemer are hig. The Aprilia is still alot of bananas. I gotta check one out in person before I pull the trigger. But he'll yea man, It looks awesome.
Always been a huge Honda guy. But after owning a Tuareg I now love Aprilia too. Definitely interested in owning another. Although Hondas forced induction V3 has definitely peaked my interest.
Live near Springfield Massachusetts love your videos truly a Honda guy however, all your videos are very in depth no matter which bike you are talking about. Good job. Love to get together for a ride sometime.

@@naushadsheik1662 The first V4 was frequently close to 150hp rear wheel in the real world. Some of the 1100 models are making sub 190hp. It depends upon the individual bike and the dyno. Manufacturer's figures are usually at the "optimistic" end of the scale.

Love the bike so much, it is what it should have been in 2021. Aprilia have refined it in such a way that it is the best looking superbike out there, Ducati 2nd and BMW 3rd. As far as those purchasable Apps go I wouldn't even bother with them myself. I have Aprilia's free 'Track' App on my 2017 RF and I still have not even tried it out and I did quite a few track days this year. I just about wrestle moving around and stayin' on with 202BHP, so Im not crying for 220 unless I had Max Biaggi3 or Savadori32 skills. Which I can only dream of having!
just booked a 24 model just under 18K euros as part of a black friday deal at -2K off the sticker price. The only thing pretty much that i'll miss is the new screen, all the other interventions are too little to make me change my decision.

Love this bike and far as the in app situation it doesn't bother me at all. That is for those who may want the exclusive features they'll only use on the track. Far as us normal purchasers that will not bother us one bit because we buy simply to ride. And that alone is why it won't even bother most and I do get what your saying. Most companies can simply make it optional right on the bike. But you have to remember those businesses are there to make profit. And if that setup of in app will give them the edge then they are going to take it, especially when it's profitable for the company. But to the majority that may purchase those bikes. The in app won't even exist to us because simply we buy to ride.
The wings that are becoming more prevalent today are simply a waste on the streets as it’s jail time if you reach speeds when they become effective. Also, on track, whilst increasing downforce they also can be problematic when slip streaming and overtaking as seen in both MotoGP and WSB. As an ex Australian Factory Superbike racer from a few decades ago, I’ve stayed within the sport to develop young talent and still get the opportunity to take these new beast out on track so I can back up what I’m saying with real world experience and feedback from some of the current top talents worldwide.
That Stingray Blue should be on the factory model. Also, Aprilia putting "in-app purchases" means they getting more and more like BMW and Mercedes-Benz and trying to add in subscriptions which is going to KILL their already dwindling global sales. People buying this bike will flash it and enable the features WITHOUT the purchase anyways - it's only a matter of time until we figure out how to do it without spending the additional money. This is so depressing because the Aprilia is the motorcycle manufacturer I first fell in love with.
I think the tech on these bikes needs to be fully opened up, let people who know their stuff tweak it as they please. If you're gonna go this far with the tech it should be like linux and not mac os if you get me. I hope people figure out a way to "jailbreak" their bikes to get around these stupid fees. Like, with TFT's you can have any dash layout you want, yet you're lucky if you get a few very similar looking designs built in. Give people the full customization!
I feel like too much tech or too much electronics can be a problem cause the gremlin that starts from one thing happen then effecting another and then for the future will this tech still work
It needs a more significant design update, not keen on the new colours, winglets are an improvement, doesn't need more power , it's going to struggle sales wise with the competition, the new BMW 's look awesome.
Now we should probably be delighted that it has 220 hp, while some others only have 215 hp. What is it for? For some to be happy that their engine has 2.5% more power than others to make them happier, or think they'll be able to go wild because of it? Everything went in the wrong direction. Instead of working on adapting the motorcycle to various customers (enable a significant change in seat height, steering wheel height and angle, footrest height and position with accompanying adjustment of the gearbox and foot brake, etc.), unnecessary performances are driven out. To that is added a bunch of electronics, because even the top driver can no longer control so much power. Anyone who tells me it's bought to ride on the runway can, but those bikes should have an open exhaust that gives more power, without lights, turn signals and all that stuff that's not needed on the runway and they shouldn't be allowed to register. A similar story applies to cars! No one really needs a car with more than 150-170 hp, and most drivers can't handle them even at low speeds if they lose control. Today's motorcycles are a caricature of the old ones. The driver's position is bad and can't adjust, the legs are pulled back so that they don't support the body but it rests on the hands, they tell us to squeeze the tank with our feet, is that the enjoyment of driving? All this so that they don't catch the road with their legs when we lean as if we're in a race? The center of gravity is raised so that when the motorcycle is standing, it strongly tends to fall as soon as it is 5 degrees out of the vertical. Driving, which is the safest and easiest for the city, when the body remains vertical and only the motorcycle leans, is practically impossible with 90% of today's motorcycles, and with the remaining 10% it is possible, but uncomfortable due to the position of the legs. And I'm not talking about sports motorcycles only, but about all that are produced (on naked, adventure, road enduro,...). The reason is that it is expensive and complicated to make a motorcycle that can be adapted to riders of different body constitutions, while still being a design success. It's easier to make it so that everyone can somehow fit on it, and it's not really comfortable for practically anyone, but that's why it has 5 hp more than last year's model and 10 hp more than the competition. Zombification of motorcyclists in action! Have you read the book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Riding"?
That's all cool bit Aprilla still has a huge problem! The nearest dealership is 180 miles from where I live. So soke will say oh that's not a big deal at all right? Well first you have to drive that distance (unless yours closer or could be waaay further) to purchase the bike, then maintenance and repairs you'll have to drive again and believe me you will have to visit the dealership again and again and again 😂 I've owned 2 and both had to go there multiple times for repairs NOT maintenance. 🤷♂️ something you need to consider when going down the European bike hole and yes European because I also owned the newest street triple moto2 and again it had oil leak issues where the dealer couldn't repair on top all the issues with the V4S&R and S1000 RR's. In the end it's yoir time and money.
4:46 says it like it's a good thing. This is what micro transactions is in gaming. They remove content and drip feed it back to you making you believe you get something, while you end up paying more. Wake up. This is actual cancer. There should be no app and everything should be present when you are handed your keys by the dealer. No apps, no payments, no dealers no nothing. You paid for a product and should obviously be able to use it without asking anyone of permission but yourself.
Lets say heated grips is subscription based and monthly pay with no contracts. its better for me to pay them 10 bucks a month in the winter couple of months and shut it off until next winter than to pay 300 for the grips then pay someone to install it end up selling the bike 6 months later cuz it got boring so for me it makes sense but not for traction control settings, that shits standard on my rs660
Except if it's on the bike, you already paid it's cost and now you are just paying for extra to be able to use it. Stop trying to justify this stupid anti-consumer practice, it needs to die off before it becomes mainstream.
People come in all sizes, so wouldn't an adjustable seat section be a good idea {if not very visually attractive}, to wedge one in place on these massively powerful modern bikes ?
Aprilia always comes close but then something always falls short in the looks department. Like all my girlfriends (this is probably why I'm single). Anyhoo, i wish bike manufacturers could make bikes look as good as they did back in the day like the Yamaha 0W01/02, original R7 and the Honda RC-45. My God those bikes were Beautiful!!!
No way winglets are to keep the front from wheelies. It’s for sharper turn in. What is it? like 60lbs of downforce at 175mph? The torque is lifting the bike to wheelie with 100lbft and the downforce is almost zero until 90mph. When was the aero keeping the wheel down in this scenario?
I have the 24 superduke 1390 and KTM has done this with every feature on the bike. You can buy the bike with no extras for the base price, add features individually or just get the tech pack with everything included. It just means people who don’t want that stuff don’t have to pay, if you want it all the bike costs an extra $1000. It’s not that big of a deal, it’s just inconvenient as you have to have it added after the run in period. Edit: yes the quick shifter should be f**king free!
@fearme46 makes sense to me but I cant get over the fact it's all installed on the bike already ktm has already paid the extra expense of putting the parts on but you have to pay to unlock them nah can't do it
@@fearme46 "people who don’t want that stuff don’t have to pay" No no no, that's not how it works. It's already installed on the bike, therefore they already made you pay for it once, it's calculated into the price of every unit. They are just ripping you off by asking extra money to toggle the features on in software. It's nothing but a scummy anti-consumer tactic to increase profits.
@@curtisnelson6875 yeah I know right, just tell me my spec of bike costs (certain amount) and I’ll pay it straight up. Paying for it later just has a shitty feeling to the whole experience.
Yup i like what they r doing , a business is there to make coin , uv got the option to buy the factory or the base , manufacturers dont make much off superbikes if anything , its not really the purpose of a superbike , the purpose is to show off what they can do and to allow them to race in world superbikes and good on them for doing so in this cotton wool coated , saftey at the expense of living life world we live in . I understand some people want to excist in life instead of living it but f..k that !
Nice content, loves my ‘16 RF and love my ‘20 Misano. You touched upon what many believe is the direction of our global society, subscription based. With the eventual reality of digital currency, what will also come is a singular global digital currency (economy). It’s at this point we will enter the subscription phase of the haves and have nots, or political elites and the rest of us. You want to ride, track, club race or world class alien, get the base model build it up starting with manually adjusted suspension front and rear. Master that then master setting up corners using the traction control (remember - adjustable while in the turn):
Never owned an Aprilia before, so even on previous models you can’t turn off traction or wheelie control? On the Ducati v4 you can turn off wheelie control (and DTC too i think). Why would they start charging people money to do that? That’s absurd LOL… maybe in the future you will need to subscribe to a “race mode” with extra 20hp or sth…
Where did you see that? They're standard on the current model, but everything I've seen is that they're only on the new factory. It makes me livid if they only made them available on the factory for 2025.
I Don't want AI in my motorcycle. Nor do i want microtransactions in my motorcycle. This is going to do more to ruin motorcycles then help. We have some of this already, and horrifically most of all in airbag vests, where if you don't pay the monthly fee, you don't get airbag.
I've always liked the rsv4, and looking forward to your history of vid. I don't like winglets but they do serve a purpose. hate the in app purchase idea. I'd like to see a dyno, the rsv4 hasn't had very smooth curves in the past.
The cat being moved under the bike is a euro 6 thing , it has nothing to do with making it easier to put an aftermarket muffler on , it has to do with making it more difficult to get the cat off the bike . I know some will say who would want the cat off , but some do and Aprilia before euro 6 put the cat in the muffler , to make it easier to get the cat off the bike, as to lower weight and make more power with a tune and less restrictive exaust.
To be honest i have mixed emotions about aprilia. I am a diehard aprilia fan all my bikes that i own are aprilias and am not going to lie that in to my eyes aprilia is the best brand at least for me. The problem is that when you want to be competitive in the bikes market you have to loose some of your heritage. Untill 2024 aprilia had the same direction into their bikes evolution. With the 2025 year bike they lost some of theri heritage. 1 they sacrifice the beauty of the bike. Yes of course its not ugly its not like an r7 but just look at their last model you want to have this bike in your living room and look at it all day long teh 2025 colors its more like a picasso livery they put 5 colors on the mix for no reason . 2 yes the performance is in the top of its class but how in this earth average rider are going to use just the 50% of the abilities of this bike and i am not talking about 100% of the bike unless you are a professional. 3 the airodynamics. Givee you a better driveability but to me it makew more sense to just put a sc project exhaust and an ohlins fully electronics suspension like v4s from winglets. Its looks like i hate the new ape. Dont get wrong i still believe that this bike is the top supersport bike especially compared to a 70.000€$ Ducatis. ❤
It's a good thing I don't care for Aprilia either way. I think they're fragile & hopelessly complex, taking away the joys of simply riding a motorcycle. Add in other bits & bobs to complicate things further & make it even more expensive is just another reason I wouldn't go for it.
❤ your right❤ That's why I prefer to ride old motorcycles.❤they're still alive. They're not laptops. New bikes are to show off. next year the newer faster model, boring. The New bikes don't give you any satisfaction or friendship . I ride a RD350LCF2 YPVS and an GPZ 550 1st edition a ZX6R 2000.😂😅😂. More than enough power. But unfortunately in competition only winning counts. So the people who make the bikes now don't even ride them. Sorry Computer nerds . ❤❤. Also a little wel done but still boring. Computer safety.😂😂😅😂
Way to much power for the road this is not how the fun of riding is made, you will find a lot of guys like me are going back from our 160-200+ hp machines down to 90-120hp machines this is the magic number for bikes. Nice Bike though.
Do you also think Aprilia's new "in-app purchases" model is ridiculous and sets a horrible precedent? Please write them feedback via their contact form (template below): Dear Aprilia Team, I'm reaching out to express my disappointment with the "in-app purchase" model for the new RSV4. Riders invest in premium bikes like Aprilia with the expectation of full, unrestricted access to its features from day one-not to unlock capabilities through additional payments. This approach feels more suited to software than to motorcycles, where the purchase should guarantee a complete, un-compromised experience. Moreover, this sets a concerning precedent. In a world overloaded with subscriptions and paywalls, it would be refreshing for Aprilia to offer riders complete control over their machines without added costs. Motorcycles are symbols of freedom, and this model undermines that spirit. I urge you to reconsider this strategy and preserve the integrity that has made Aprilia a respected brand among riders. Thank you, [Your Name] LET'S FIGHT THIS TOGETHER!
That’s bullshit! Zero pulled that same pay extra to unlock features crap! If I bought the bike I should have all the capabilities from the jump. BMW does this bullshit too. You have to pay a monthly fee or $500 to “unlock” heated seats and other nonsense like that. Aprilia screwed up big here.
How do you guys feel about these "In app features" that you have to pay for? Incredible bike, but I don't know how to feel about that one...
Terrible, the focus of a bike should be the fact that it is a mechanical machine, not an extension of your phone
I say no, but If it's not expensive, say, maybe, $1 per change? maybe. But I don't even turn off my ABS and TC on my Triumph Daytona Moto 2
The subscription model of features is going to end up being a no-go for me and others that I know. If the hardware is already there, just have it available for use. If you want to restrict access, then don't put the hardware in place. Especially when it's something like heated grips or seat, the harness can be uniform across the range, but don't install the seat or grips with the heater elements.
It's a scumbag tactic. Revolt against all of this or we will be paying per start!
Nope 🙅♀️

The driver's position is bad and can't adjust, the legs are pulled back so that they don't support the body but it rests on the hands, they tell us to squeeze the tank with our feet, is that the enjoyment of driving? All this so that they don't catch the road with their legs when we lean as if we're in a race? The center of gravity is raised so that when the motorcycle is standing, it strongly tends to fall as soon as it is 5 degrees out of the vertical. Driving, which is the safest and easiest for the city, when the body remains vertical and only the motorcycle leans, is practically impossible with 90% of today's motorcycles, and with the remaining 10% it is possible, but uncomfortable due to the position of the legs. And I'm not talking about sports motorcycles only, but about all that are produced (on naked, adventure, road enduro,...). The reason is that it is expensive and complicated to make a motorcycle that can be adapted to riders of different body constitutions, while still being a design success. It's easier to make it so that everyone can somehow fit on it, and it's not really comfortable for practically anyone, but that's why it has 5 hp more than last year's model and 10 hp more than the competition. Zombification of motorcyclists in action! Have you read the book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Riding"?
That's all cool bit Aprilla still has a huge problem! The nearest dealership is 180 miles from where I live. So soke will say oh that's not a big deal at all right? Well first you have to drive that distance (unless yours closer or could be waaay further) to purchase the bike, then maintenance and repairs you'll have to drive again and believe me you will have to visit the dealership again and again and again 😂 I've owned 2 and both had to go there multiple times for repairs NOT maintenance. 🤷♂️ something you need to consider when going down the European bike hole and yes European because I also owned the newest street triple moto2 and again it had oil leak issues where the dealer couldn't repair on top all the issues with the V4S&R and S1000 RR's. In the end it's yoir time and money.
4:46 says it like it's a good thing. This is what micro transactions is in gaming. They remove content and drip feed it back to you making you believe you get something, while you end up paying more.
Wake up. This is actual cancer.
There should be no app and everything should be present when you are handed your keys by the dealer. No apps, no payments, no dealers no nothing. You paid for a product and should obviously be able to use it without asking anyone of permission but yourself.
question is, is it still gonna leak oil at seals around the whole engine case
Lets say heated grips is subscription based and monthly pay with no contracts. its better for me to pay them 10 bucks a month in the winter couple of months and shut it off until next winter than to pay 300 for the grips then pay someone to install it end up selling the bike 6 months later cuz it got boring so for me it makes sense but not for traction control settings, that shits standard on my rs660
Except if it's on the bike, you already paid it's cost and now you are just paying for extra to be able to use it. Stop trying to justify this stupid anti-consumer practice, it needs to die off before it becomes mainstream.
People come in all sizes, so wouldn't an adjustable seat section be a good idea {if not very visually attractive}, to wedge one in place on these massively powerful modern bikes ?
They not only one KTM doing same thing
It's the Apple of sport bikes.
i just want the engine. and then stick it into a 2008 R1 body
Aprilia always comes close but then something always falls short in the looks department. Like all my girlfriends (this is probably why I'm single). Anyhoo, i wish bike manufacturers could make bikes look as good as they did back in the day like the Yamaha 0W01/02, original R7 and the Honda RC-45. My God those bikes were Beautiful!!!
I think the RSV4 has always been a fine looking machine...
Except for that dinner plate they tacked onto the front fairing.
😆 “like all my girlfriends” 😆
they need to change the lower headlight part. Looks like a sparrow/small bird beak. Stops me from considering just at that.
No way winglets are to keep the front from wheelies. It’s for sharper turn in. What is it? like 60lbs of downforce at 175mph? The torque is lifting the bike to wheelie with 100lbft and the downforce is almost zero until 90mph. When was the aero keeping the wheel down in this scenario?
I wonder how many recalls this will have as Aprilia is best known this lmfao, oh what's happening with the VFR800?
ktm did that with thier quick shifter
I have the 24 superduke 1390 and KTM has done this with every feature on the bike. You can buy the bike with no extras for the base price, add features individually or just get the tech pack with everything included. It just means people who don’t want that stuff don’t have to pay, if you want it all the bike costs an extra $1000. It’s not that big of a deal, it’s just inconvenient as you have to have it added after the run in period.
Edit: yes the quick shifter should be f**king free!
@fearme46 makes sense to me but I cant get over the fact it's all installed on the bike already ktm has already paid the extra expense of putting the parts on but you have to pay to unlock them nah can't do it
@@fearme46 "people who don’t want that stuff don’t have to pay" No no no, that's not how it works. It's already installed on the bike, therefore they already made you pay for it once, it's calculated into the price of every unit. They are just ripping you off by asking extra money to toggle the features on in software.
It's nothing but a scummy anti-consumer tactic to increase profits.
@@curtisnelson6875 yeah I know right, just tell me my spec of bike costs (certain amount) and I’ll pay it straight up. Paying for it later just has a shitty feeling to the whole experience.
Yup i like what they r doing , a business is there to make coin , uv got the option to buy the factory or the base , manufacturers dont make much off superbikes if anything , its not really the purpose of a superbike , the purpose is to show off what they can do and to allow them to race in world superbikes and good on them for doing so in this cotton wool coated , saftey at the expense of living life world we live in .
I understand some people want to excist in life instead of living it but f..k that !
Nice content, loves my ‘16 RF and love my ‘20 Misano. You touched upon what many believe is the direction of our global society, subscription based. With the eventual reality of digital currency, what will also come is a singular global digital currency (economy). It’s at this point we will enter the subscription phase of the haves and have nots, or political elites and the rest of us.
You want to ride, track, club race or world class alien, get the base model build it up starting with manually adjusted suspension front and rear. Master that then master setting up corners using the traction control (remember - adjustable while in the turn):
why does the more expensive factory always get worse colors than the standard??
The in app purchase thing is a MASSIVE deal! Argh! That makes me so angry! I thought I was being Punk'd at first. (If that's even a thing now)
Another great quality video from HeroRR! You’re great at what you do man! Keep it up!
It's a beautiful bike but I hope they sell less than a handful.
I don't want to pay for features that should come with the bike...
I HAVE A SUPERBIKE COLLECTION ALL NEW ALL BRANDSAND MY APRILIA RSV4 IS MY FAVORITE
I'm not paying $20K for two wheels (unless the bike is a one-of-one). Thanks for uploading but Hell no.
Shut up grandpa. 20k is NOTHING for an motorcycle
Theres no bike thats "one of one" thats worth only 20K
Great Review. Thank you.
Don’t like the app purchases. Should be all included. Ktm is blamed for that shit.
Forget the winglets, they look stupid. Just one more thing to break on the bike, that will be expensive to replace.
Looks great in my opinion. And expencive yes, so dont break it
Wheelies over 100 will definitely be more dangerous with winglets 😅. I know, who wants to do wheelies over 100 right 😊.
Why did they mutilate the belly fairing?
I can't wait till this is 6 grand 25 years from now. I'm so happy youre back to making videos, yah Masshole 😉
please explain in english
I'll be sure to watch the upcoming video 👍.
Should make a 600cc version of this.
220hp ?????? come-on no one can use that
Never owned an Aprilia before, so even on previous models you can’t turn off traction or wheelie control? On the Ducati v4 you can turn off wheelie control (and DTC too i think). Why would they start charging people money to do that? That’s absurd LOL… maybe in the future you will need to subscribe to a “race mode” with extra 20hp or sth…
The 2005 is still faster 0-60 :) How about that?
Bro if I'm paying nearly 20 grand for the bike, I want to own the whole bike. Why are they putting subscription on shit like this
Cruise control and ordering light are standard on the base model as well.
Where did you see that? They're standard on the current model, but everything I've seen is that they're only on the new factory. It makes me livid if they only made them available on the factory for 2025.
Isn’t it only like 3 hp more than last year? This is just a minor update on the existing platform
Well most other bikes are going down on HP, so it's an improvement at least.
But it has a fuel gauge. That is new.
@ ? My 22 Tuono has a fuel gauge, very similar bike.
I Don't want AI in my motorcycle. Nor do i want microtransactions in my motorcycle. This is going to do more to ruin motorcycles then help. We have some of this already, and horrifically most of all in airbag vests, where if you don't pay the monthly fee, you don't get airbag.
In app purchases? Bro have you heard of KTM? lol
Really looking forward to your RSV4 history video.
What racers? Isn't,'t it a 1100?
I've always liked the rsv4, and looking forward to your history of vid. I don't like winglets but they do serve a purpose. hate the in app purchase idea. I'd like to see a dyno, the rsv4 hasn't had very smooth curves in the past.
Can't wait for your full history video!
I'd wish they'd enter in WSBK again 😮💨
Why they dont make a 1000 ccm edition😢
I thought #bearacer
A spoiler in the bottom of the swing arm like at the x Version is missing
Looking forward to the Aprilia video!
gyros and uphills dont work very well together.
You are right. Vehicles with DLC are going to be a thing.
Like pretty much 9/10 of costumers I want to use alle the bike has to over out of the box and pay only once, when buying the machine.
Looking forward to your historic video!
Software purchases = hard pass no matter how fast it might be.
The cat being moved under the bike is a euro 6 thing , it has nothing to do with making it easier to put an aftermarket muffler on , it has to do with making it more difficult to get the cat off the bike . I know some will say who would want the cat off , but some do and Aprilia before euro 6 put the cat in the muffler , to make it easier to get the cat off the bike, as to lower weight and make more power with a tune and less restrictive exaust.
马上10年了
To be honest i have mixed emotions about aprilia. I am a diehard aprilia fan all my bikes that i own are aprilias and am not going to lie that in to my eyes aprilia is the best brand at least for me. The problem is that when you want to be competitive in the bikes market you have to loose some of your heritage. Untill 2024 aprilia had the same direction into their bikes evolution. With the 2025 year bike they lost some of theri heritage. 1 they sacrifice the beauty of the bike. Yes of course its not ugly its not like an r7 but just look at their last model you want to have this bike in your living room and look at it all day long teh 2025 colors its more like a picasso livery they put 5 colors on the mix for no reason . 2 yes the performance is in the top of its class but how in this earth average rider are going to use just the 50% of the abilities of this bike and i am not talking about 100% of the bike unless you are a professional. 3 the airodynamics. Givee you a better driveability but to me it makew more sense to just put a sc project exhaust and an ohlins fully electronics suspension like v4s from winglets. Its looks like i hate the new ape. Dont get wrong i still believe that this bike is the top supersport bike especially compared to a 70.000€$ Ducatis. ❤
Well the future is clear.. AI will be riding our motorcycles. é_é
This thing is as old as Nissan GT-R.
This vs BMWs lineup will be interesting
It's a good thing I don't care for Aprilia either way. I think they're fragile & hopelessly complex, taking away the joys of simply riding a motorcycle. Add in other bits & bobs to complicate things further & make it even more expensive is just another reason I wouldn't go for it.
Damn those winglets really ruin the look of the bike, really no need for them
❤ your right❤ That's why I prefer to ride old motorcycles.❤they're still alive. They're not laptops. New bikes are to show off. next year the newer faster model,
boring. The New bikes don't give you any satisfaction or friendship . I ride a RD350LCF2 YPVS and an GPZ 550 1st edition a ZX6R 2000.😂😅😂. More than enough power. But unfortunately in competition only winning counts. So the people who make the bikes now don't even ride them. Sorry Computer nerds . ❤❤. Also a little wel done but still boring. Computer safety.😂😂😅😂
220 HP is ONLY FACTORY CLAIMS 😂😂😂, WHEN YOU GO FOR DYNO TEST ON WHEEL NOT EVEN GET 190HP IF YOU WITH STOCK EXHAUST😆🤣🤣🤣
Milli not Melee 😂😂😂
Way to much power for the road this is not how the fun of riding is made, you will find a lot of guys like me are going back from our 160-200+ hp machines down to 90-120hp machines this is the magic number for bikes. Nice Bike though.
Sorry, I just cannot bring myself to buy a bike with winglets.
Aero useless until you hit 250kph
Do you also think Aprilia's new "in-app purchases" model is ridiculous and sets a horrible precedent? Please write them feedback via their contact form (template below):
Dear Aprilia Team,
I'm reaching out to express my disappointment with the "in-app purchase" model for the new RSV4. Riders invest in premium bikes like Aprilia with the expectation of full, unrestricted access to its features from day one-not to unlock capabilities through additional payments. This approach feels more suited to software than to motorcycles, where the purchase should guarantee a complete, un-compromised experience.
Moreover, this sets a concerning precedent. In a world overloaded with subscriptions and paywalls, it would be refreshing for Aprilia to offer riders complete control over their machines without added costs. Motorcycles are symbols of freedom, and this model undermines that spirit. I urge you to reconsider this strategy and preserve the integrity that has made Aprilia a respected brand among riders.
Thank you,
[Your Name]
LET'S FIGHT THIS TOGETHER!
That’s bullshit! Zero pulled that same pay extra to unlock features crap! If I bought the bike I should have all the capabilities from the jump. BMW does this bullshit too. You have to pay a monthly fee or $500 to “unlock” heated seats and other nonsense like that. Aprilia screwed up big here.
Stop with this ai bs, please stop it or I will unfollow
What exactly are you referring to?
