THE APRILIA RSV 4 “RACE MACHINE” IS UNVEILED FOR THE FIRST TIME
The Aprilia Superbike, the bike which from 2009 will bring the Noale based company back to four-stroke racing, has been unveiled for the first time during the Piaggio Group Convention in Milan.
After the success in the 2007 World Championships with Aprilia riders and bikes dominating the 125 and 250 classes (winning all four titles, a repeat of the 2006 performance), the Veneto company gave a preview of the eagerly awaited RSV 4 “Race Machine”.
An extraordinary preview to a privileged audience of more than 1,200 dealers attending the International Piaggio Group Convention.
Four cylinders, 1000 cc, power of well over 200 HP in the race version, the new bike due to make its road debut by the end of 2008 will mark Aprilia's return to the World Superbike Championship in the 2009 season. ...
very sexy...the front fairing looks a lot like a mix between a CBR F4i and an R6 but it's not too bad.
it's a shame that it's gonna be too expensive for most prospective buyers. i love my RSV and have been waiting for Aprilia to come out with their V4, but i think i will be stuck with their V-twins for the forseeable future.

You start out motorcycling with a full bag of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
Some people are like slinkies; they're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
I like it! Have they said anything about a street bike version?
from what i understand it's gonna be a limited production bike similar to the ducati desmosedici RR.

The Aprilia RSV 4 is driven by the most revolutionary and powerful engine ever built by Aprilia. A four-cylinder one litre 65° V engine - a layout making it unique among all the world's production engines - in which the most sophisticated engine engineering is combined with top quality materials and the most advanced electronic control technology.
The Aprilia engine in fact uses integral ride-by-wire technology, opening up new frontiers in managing such a powerful engine, with almost infinite possibilities for controlling power output and traction.

The first year it will be limited, but the rumors are the RSV-4 will eventually go into mass production replacing the current RSVR Factory as Aprilia's top of the line sport bike. They're starting in WSB, and then going AMA superbike racing. And they'll probably keep an RSV twin in the lineup as the cost conscience model, for the less hardcore, at least for a few more years.

It looks like the street version will be available by the end of '08.
