Aprilia Rsv4 Factory
The Aprilia RSV4 Factory was introduced in 2009 as Aprilia's flagship superbike, built around an all-new 65-degree V4 engine developed with racing DNA from their MotoGP program. It quickly established itself as a benchmark in the superbike class, winning multiple Superbike World Championship titles with riders like Max Biaggi and Sylvain Guintoli. The Factory variant represents the top-spec version with premium Öhlins suspension, more aggressive tuning, and lightweight components, and the model has continued to evolve with significant updates in 2015, 2019, and 2021 bringing increased displacement, electronics, and power.

What Buyers Should Know
V4 Engine Reliability
The RSV4's 65-degree V4 engine is known for strong long-term reliability when properly maintained, but valve clearance checks every 15,000 km are critical and often neglected by previous owners — always verify service history.
Strong Resale Value
The RSV4 Factory holds its value exceptionally well compared to Japanese superbikes, often retaining 70-80% of its value after two years due to its race-bred pedigree and limited production numbers.
Electronics Package
The Factory trim features Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension and a comprehensive APRC electronics suite — however, the Öhlins system can be expensive to repair if faulty, so always test all riding modes before purchasing.
