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.

top chassis

wonderful sound

full electronics package

automatic gearshift with blipper

Unsteady front wheel when accelerating

too much information for too small a display

Ducati 1299 Panigale S 2016

Ducati 1299 Panigale S 2016

With its roaring two-cylinder and heavenly looks, it still steals the show from the other bikes in the paddock when unloaded. The electronics package seems perfect, but the chassis is a little too radical. The V2 will thrill fans but could overtax rookies in the saddle.

Great electronics package

great shift assistant

looks to die for

fast as hell in expert hands

Exhausting on corner exit

narrow rev band

strong heat radiation to the rear end
