Aprilia RSV4 RF 2017

Aprilia RSV4 RF 2017

The Aprilia RSV4 RF is a compact power rocket that requires an expert hand to make perfect use of its strengths. It tends to get bumpy at the front when accelerating, which can be managed with the right weight shift and looseness on the handlebars. Brutal acceleration in front of an impressive sound backdrop (with Akrapovic exhaust) meets hard deceleration in the braking zone thanks to grown 330 discs. On the entry, the RSV stabs precisely into the radius and reacts almost like a 600cc in bends. The numerous electronic riding aids demand some occupation and attention as to which settings one has just saved.

For the fact that Honda has actually only announced an update, hardly a stone has been left unturned on the new Fire Blade. Some of the new features are of course due to the new EURO standard, but many of them are really aimed at improving drivability. I am very pleased that, especially in times like these, when more and more manufacturers are withdrawing from the high-performance and expensive superbike segment, Honda is once again devoting its full development power to improving what is already good and thus demonstrating what is technically feasible. Because even if these bikes are no longer affordable for many of us, they still demonstrate the know-how or the technical possibilities. And over time, these will also find their way into the 0-8-15 bikes from which the majority of motorcyclists will then also benefit.

Improved seating position

Rideability very good

Powerful engine

Throttle split gives the rider a lot of confidence

Chassis also suitable for the racetrack in automatic mode
