Aprilia Rsv4
The Aprilia Rsv4 has a top speed of 299 km/h, produces 217 hp and weighs 202 kg. Motoryk rates it 9/10.
L'Aprilia RSV4 a été introduite en 2009 en tant que superbike spécialement conçue et développée directement à partir du programme du championnat du monde de Superbike d'Aprilia, dotée d'un moteur V4 unique à 65 degrés. Elle s'est rapidement imposée comme une référence dans la catégorie superbike, remportant de nombreux titres WSBK avec des pilotes tels que Max Biaggi et Sylvain Guintoli. Au fil des générations successives, notamment la Factory, la RR, la RF et la RSV4 1100 Factory 2021, elle n'a cessé d'évoluer en matière d'électronique, d'aérodynamisme et d'améliorations de puissance, consolidant ainsi sa réputation d'être l'une des meilleures motos de série jamais fabriquées pour la piste.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Unique V4 Engine
The RSV4 uses a narrow 65° V4 engine — a layout borrowed from Aprilia's MotoGP program. This gives it exceptional power density and a distinctive exhaust note unmatched by inline-4 competitors.
Watch the Valve Intervals
Valve clearance checks are required every 15,000 km and can be costly due to the engine's complexity. Always verify service history before buying, as skipped maintenance is a common issue on used examples.
Strong Resale Value
The RSV4 holds its value better than most superbikes, particularly Factory and RF editions. Well-maintained examples with full service history command a premium and sell quickly on the used market.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"The best used sportsbike money can buy, if you're careful."
$8,000-$16,000 usedThe RSV4 is genuinely one of the best sportsbikes ever made, but buying one used demands homework. That V4 engine is a mechanical masterpiece — urgent, musical, utterly addictive — and the chassis will embarrass bikes costing twice as much on a twisty road. Pre-2015 bikes are getting long in the tooth now, so target the 2015-onwards RF or RR variants if your budget stretches. Service history is non-negotiable here. Valve clearances need checking every 15,000km and the bill isn't pretty if ignored. Electronics packages on later bikes are genuinely brilliant rather than gimmicky. Watch for crash damage religiously — these get track-dayed hard by owners who thought they were Biaggi. Check the frame sliders, inspect the subframe welds, and get the steering head bearings checked because neglect shows up there fast. Fuel pump issues plagued earlier models too. Budget an extra $800-1,200 for a proper setup service after purchase. Do all that and you'll own something truly special for supercar money.
