F you’ve been on the fence about committing to a V4, this could be the bike that turns the tide. Churning out wave after wave of ferocious-yet-usable power to an unmistakable baritone concerto, Aprilia’s 999cc, 65-degree V4 commandeers your temporal lobe and overwrites past memories of inline-4s. An almost-overabundance of low-end torque ensures there’s sufficient power on tap in the event of a miss-shift.
That’s not to say the RSV4 R is a handful around town, either. Even riders whose throttle control resembles that of a light switch will find the Aprilia willing to oblige tight parking lots and congested roadways with the manageability of a middleweight.
