Solid U.S. pricing within 7 days per an Aprilia dealer.

What are we using as the "over/under" line?

I hear close to current RSVR pricing which is around the $18k mark. My totally uneducated guess is around $20k.

Okay, $20k is the line. I'm gonna guess its MSRP for the standard edition is gonna be over that. And I base this on absolutely nothing as well. LOL.

I should clarify that the current RSVR Factory is listed at $18k. The current base RSV 1000 R is priced at $14k.

That is certainly a sexy bike!
Too bad I've never seen an Aprilia dealership.

I actually don't mind the look of the "ugly" exhaust. I think the track version with the aftermarket can does look better but I'd take either one. From a pure visual appeal standpoint I still like the 848/1098. I do really like the idea of a V4 though. It'll be interesting to see how the performance stacks up to the current I4's.
With Yamaha bringing the "big bang" and Aprilla bringing a V4 and the introduction of the "1198" it will be interesting to see what other manufacturer's start offering.

Looks eerily similar to the RC212V

What's that wire and little black box on the right-hand side of the swinging arm?

Yup. My RSVR counts sprocket revolutions for speed sensing... I would venture this is the same system. Although, I have to admit mine looks a lot tidier than that thing.

Looking at the photos, though, the visible box and wiring is only on the race version.

They've been great, it's the dirt bike engines that have shown Aprilia is Italian. Quote:

Yeah, I am really puzzled by this. Everywhere else on the bike things look tucked in right, routed good, but then there is this hideous box on the swingarm with a cord strung along.
It vexes me.

Hmmm....that is a puzzle. Is it a dip box for tire diameter...

Am I missing something? I don't see it on the street version, just the "race" edition.

That's why I think it might be a dip box...you'd think they'd do that with a tether, but who knows...

ehh..It's a looker, no doubt...don't really understand the move to the V4 design..I think prefer "big bang" of the new R1...in any case, WSBK in '09 is gonna be a white-knuckle, knock-down, drag-out, slobber-knocker! and I can't wait...

Well - no solid pricing from the US Dealer meeting. Aprilia brass say that it will be priced competitively with the 1098 but nothing any more specific.
Arrival on US shores - Q4 2009. Will probably be sold as a 2010 model. Word is out that the Tuono will be replaced by a V4 Tuono in 2010, as well. No word on RST revival.
