Couldn’t even keep it pinned over T1 at Laguna... Sad 😔 Just kidding, I had a blast at Laguna trying out this bike. Thanks to Aprilia for making it happen!
Any rider that hasn't ridden an Aprilia 1100, you need to try it. I've ridden a lotta bikes but that v4 1100 on my Tuono is absolutely intoxicating. The exhaust note alone is sublime.
I just traded in my Tuono for a 2022 RSV4 base model, Akra system, race ecu, DNA filter, forged aluminum wheels and it’s an absolutely insane machine to ride. Mind blowing how fast it is. Mental machine.
For many years always kind of felt like the lesser known Italian option to the Ducs. With the introductions of the V4s, really claimed a spot of their own. Great ride under the conditions, thanks for the review.
@@lhdrones1775 yea but unfortunately the dyno and track numbers of the two bikes are not very different. The GSXR is actually more comfortable to ride too lol
@@grinningdemonz28 that is not how I would choose a liter sport bike, not in how much comfortable it is, but rather how effective it is on track. And the rsv4 has been in the top spot in all kind of testing since it was released. It won for three years the sbk world championship, when Aprilia was participating with it’s team (2010-2015), with Biaggi and Guintoli. The first title was won the same year it was released, straight from the factory to the podium. Furthermore the difference of price between the stock configurations is only 300$, I would buy a rsv4 instantly! (Twice the price huh?) And in the stock configuration, for 17 grand the Suzuki doesn’t have a tft screen, but a poultry LCD (only one in the market), and it doesn’t have half of the regulations that the rsv4 has (engine position on the frame, swing arm pivot position, rear tire position, and the electronics, with engine brake regulation, 6 customizable maps, cruise control etc, I’m surely forgetting something).
@@lhdrones1775 yea if I had unlimited money I'd go with the RS4 too, but I don't. RS4 on Aprilia's website is $28,000 estimated, that means probably even more. GXR1000's new are in the the $14-16K range and much much cheaper used. Most of Yammie's viewers are new bike riders and probably wouldn't want to spend $28,000 for a pretty much track only bike.
I'm not scared ripping a liter bike around the highways and maxing out, first time I went to track scared the shit out of me I was riding around slower than 300s, completely different level of skill
The electronic suspension does its trick being comfier or racier at the touch of a button and that is fantastic on tje street, and also being able to set it up in manual mode without tools, just touching buttons. On an track with the traditional suspension decently set-up for that track a regular rider wont know the difference
I can tell you why the 7K is worth it, especially on street: You get on it and ride. Done. No need to set the suspension up, it's doing all of that for you including setting up the proper sags. You felt it moving around underneath you because it was likely set up for the conditions - cold and damp wants that mode. And if you'd ridden it harder it would have gradually stiffened up. If you're a racer, do you want it? Probably not, you want the suspension to do exactly what you want all the time and you're likely messing with ride height etc. to make geometry goals. But for the road absolutely, you can ride that bike in an optimised setup all the time and they just work every ride out without turning a wrench or making riding compromises.
Sounds pretty good actually This bike almost sounds like an r1 How do u compare this with zx10r which is very affordable and performs better than many bikes which costs more than $30k? And riding on Laguna seca is a cherishing moment ....
Both the RSV4 and the RSV4 Factory come in south of 30, with it being 16-17K and 25.5K respectively. Performance wise, in a straight line your going to beat most bikes off the line, but might fall short when it comes to the top end speed. The RSV4 platform absolutely slaughters corners at high speeds, so when it comes to track/street racing, your going to win if you know how to handle it. I’d say the RSV4 is highly comparable to the ZX10R, for a similar price point, it’s a very compelling package. The RSV4 Factory is more expensive, and if your looking at street only, it might not be worth the extra mark up, with that being said, it is more powerful, and it’s a fantastic bike, if your looking for a track bike, it’s the one
@@shahabaz.maharoof when we’re talking about performance, the ZX10R is in the same league with the RSV4, R1m etc. price wise hell no. A ZX10R will beat a RSV4 in al all out straight line race, but the RSV4 will destroy the ZX10R when it comes to track performance.
Appreciate that review I am in the market for liter bike my first interest in Aprilia was back in late nineties in Ireland my mate had Aprilia Rs125 the bike was fast and good looking. I Already have 2020 R6 which I am keeping so R1 doesn’t jump at me that much then its the Beamer or Aprilia. The Beamer I am really on the fence about it many ways. The $800 Bren tune for the Aprilia dropping the fans to 190 and the integrated headlights I am feeling a lot. Bike only needs a slip on.
Thanks for all the details you told us about this bike it's a buitefull bike with lots of power and performance im going to buy one of them the grey one that's for the video
About 2 years ago a lot of "Track Guys" said the electronic suspension on the Panigale V4 wasn't worth it when testing the bikes out ON THE TRACK so they stuck with base model. But a lot of dudes on the street said the electronic suspension is worth it and can feel the difference if they have it when out on the street. I wonder if the situation is the same with this bike. You might want to make a vid comparing the 2 on the street.
Seriously. The V4 engine in the aprilia has super short maintenance intervals, and they have been known to have tight valves well before the 12K major service. Where Ducati has improved immensely over the past 10 years, Aprilia is still the stereotypical Italian maintenance queen.
Yeah, that dealer support problem is a pain in the butt. On the bright side though, MV Agusta has started talking about building its north American dealer network, and those bikes are awesome.
I need some advice, motorcycle stolen two weeks ago, put 20,000 on it in my first year riding (05 F650GS). Found a 94 Ducati E900 on CycleTrader, With 4500 miles on it. Really affordable, Thoughts?
@@DoctorStrange01 Thank you for your input, The motorcycle was free, and I hold the title.

@@geneticepistomology If you have all those vehicles, then i guess the insurance advice was unnecessary. You can get your bikes stolen regularly, and it won't make a difference. As for the bike itself, sorry, can't help here.

Former RSV4 owner, current 21’ SFV4S owner. I rode the 2021 RSV4 Factory on Tuesday. The new Aprilia is really good. Much better than mine. That said, I’d rather have the Ducati (or a Tuono V4) because 95% of my riding is on the street and when I track ride, it’s typically on a small displacement bike.
Death Valley just outside Barstow, CA has the worlds longest straightaway and lowest annual percentage rainfall in the world lol. Just sayin'. R1 vs RSV4 desert showdown
Speaking of meaningless performance, when hector barbera got on his s1000rr in motoamerica, they had to tune down the power because he couldn't ride the thing. And he is a professional. I think most supersports have more power than the rider has the skill to use.
