2021 Aprilia RSV4 Factory first ride - is it fun on the road?

The 2021 Aprilia RSV4 Factory gets a whole bunch of new stuff - from its jazzy LED face to a bigger engine, new suspension, a new swingarm and MORE. Join me for a fairly sedate ride (I was in a group… sorry), as I try to see if it's a good superbike for the road.

Another great first appraisal Sir. So how many Cow bells would you give each of the Tuono & RSV's?? Regards from Perth AU

[@timrodierides]

I give the Tuono 9 bells out of 10, and the RSV 7. If I want lapping my giant cow shaped track the RSV would probably get 10

Good on the road, but the best on the track!👍🏻

[@scowler2364]

Wish they would put that engine in an adventure bike. Sounds so much nicer than the multi v4 imo

[@timrodierides]

I wholeheartedly support this notion

[@pistolpete6321]

Great review!

[@timrodierides]

Thanks Pete!

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

Aprilia 🥰 Price is as scary as the performance 😬

The Top tier sport bike on the market right now

Tim... what’s happening with the Drivetribe podcast boring drives to work in the morning aren’t the same. Ps.... that noise wowzer!

[@timrodierides]

Recording one tomorrow hopefully! Rachael and I are so busy lately. But we won’t forget forever…

Looks quite Flash Gordon 🤖
214bhp was a lot for a car, when I was little!
I thought a ‘91 GSXR750 was a fast bike with around half that power 😱

[@DontPanicDear]

@@theyorkshireman7145
Indeed it was! Those were lovely 👍🏻
I was thinking of a Sierra Cosworth, with 204bhp it’s first iteration 😱

[@timrodierides]

You can tell from the video how frustrating it is riding a 214hp bike on the road sticking to the speed limits!

[@timmo3351]

Lol at the MG 85TT lead bike. Bit of a fish out of water.

[@timrodierides]

Haha yup it was a bit of a mixed group of Piaggio Group bikes…

Is this bike comfortable for long rides,and what is fuel consumption of this bike

[@knucklesmusic7590]

Dude its a supersport bike. Ofc its not comfortable. You will get like 100-150km til the Warning light flashes up, depending on your drive style

[@doncappo1509]

Is a 900 hp Ferrari or lambo or GT3 a waste for the road as well? Bloody hell chap get your shit together, it’s all about having a fast Italian exotic

[@yorkshire1290DUKE-R]

Beautiful bike, a complete waste of money for the road though. Unless you track I don't see the point.

[@zero521]

It's a great bike but just a little bit ugly!
