2009 Aprilia RSV1000R Consumer Rating

This bike truly lives up to the hype. Yes, there are larger displacement V-Twins to choose from, but the refinement of this machine can only be described from the saddle. It is truly an amazing motorcycle. Yes, I own one. I had an RC51 previously and the RSV sad to say, puts the RC51 to shame in all key measurements of motorcycling performance. With a few aftermarket parts you can really bring the RSV to life and unleash the full potential of the bike. With a top speed that already matches that of a 1098, you can get even more big bang from this awesome twin with the installation of a PClll w/custom tuning, a BMC Racing airfilter and performance exhaust. Doing this will give you about 10 more HP and improve your Torque values nicely. 125 HP and 70 ft. lb of Torque can be realized with these improvements. V-Twins Rule!
