The Aprilia RSV 4 is a super bike manufactured by Aprilia. Production of the motorcycle is scheduled to begin in 2008.[1] The motorcycle was unvailed on February 22, 2008, at the International Piaggio Group Convention in Milan, Italy. It is powered by a 65-degree 1,000 cc (61 cu in) V-4 engine, the company's first production four-cylinder engine.[2] Aprilia claims that the new engine was designed specifically for superbike racing and that the engine will put over 200-horsepower in race configuration.
The RSV-4 is scheduled to become Aprilia’s flagship model later in 2008, when the current RSV road bike is discontinued.[1]
Aprilia intends to race the motorcycle in the 2009 Superbike World Championship and could also compete in some races in 2008 as part of the bike’s development program.[1]
