We've spent plenty of time looking at the spec sheets for Aprilia's barnstorming new superbike, the 180-horsepower RSV4 - and marvelling at the potential of what has to be the most race-focused roadbike ever to hit the market. Now it's time to take this beast out on the road and see how it goes. Sit back and enjoy our most in-depth video review yet - it's white knuckles and brown underpants as we road test the 2010 Aprilia RSV4-R.

Great, looking forward to the BMW S1000 RR review.

Watching that was awesome bit of deja vu when I realised were all the road scenes were filmed.

I agree with "PTB"...the best, most balanced with tech info

and machine/riding experience review I've seen.

Thank you for a great job.

Mate, seriously I enjoy your site, but this annoyed me. I live in an area thats terrorised by loud, maniac riding every weekend and frequently during the week. There's deaths, near misses, conflict, serious noise pollution. Your nudge nudge wink wink approach to speed on public roads and to noise is deeply offensive. Deeply (yep, lost friends to your style of riding). Sorry, really enjoy your style and the site, but I reckon you erred this time.

Nice video!! Aprilia RSV4 is to provide its users with good mileage and better performance. The powerful engine is been endowed with the latest dynamic Transmission system.
