On Septenber 20th, Aprilia presented the new RSV 1000 that Biaggi will be riding in the WSBK Chanpionship next year....
Aprilia unvailed in Rome the new RSV4, the supersporty 1000cc 4cilinder 65deg V bike that Biaggi will be riding next year in the World Superbike Championship...The RSV4 will be built in 2 versions: base and Factory.
Power specs are not available yet but the numbers are somewhere around 180 hp at 13,500rev on for the base and Factory version.
The Racing version insted have been released and they sound like this : " engine will be able to run at more than 15,000 revs and develop 220hp!!!
When will we see these on the roads? Well, first of all the price in euros for the "base" version will be around 20k....or 32,000 of our weak dollars...no price for the Factory yet....
When? The WSBK regulations inpose a min. of 1000 Factory bikes to be produced in order to enrole the bike in the championship....250 MUST be out by the first race in February and the remaining 750 by June...so hopefully some of those will end up here in the US for us to admire by the beginning of next summer :)
cheers
