APRILIA HAVE launched official full specifications of their new RSV4 superbike, as well as a new online website with images and a video of the new V4 racer/road bike.
The site, which can be accessed by clicking on the link below, gives a full picture gallery and even an online video of the bike hammering around Mugello.

The Aprilia RSV4 is powered by the most revolutionary and most powerful engine ever developed by Aprilia. This 65° V four unit uses multi-mapping ride-by-wire technology, a solution that opens up new horizons in engine control, and offers virtually infinite opportunities for power delivery and traction control (present as standard on the racing version).
The narrow V-four engine configuration permits a longer stroke to be used, with clear benefits in terms of improved engine breathing. High engine speeds can therefore be reached without having to extend the width of the crankcase. A cassette type gearbox, traction control and a slipper clutch are standrad fitment.
Components include: Öhlins forks, rear monoshock and steering damper, Brembo monobloc brake calipers and forged aluminium wheels.
