    Not quite 848/1098/1198 sexy but still very good looking. I really like the white.

    Pretty good for a big V4
    Maximum rpm: 14,100 rpm
    I wonder what availability of this stuff will be? If available, also expensive I'm sure.
    A complete range of accessories is available for Aprilia RSV4 fans:

    - Akrapovic racing exhaust system
    - Öhlins TTX36 rear shock absorber
    - adjustable footpegs
    - racing half-handlebars
    - fairing protection pads
    - high top fairing
    - fairing caps for rear mirrors
    - rear stand pins
    - license plate retainer cover
    - motorcycle cover
    - dedicated stand
    - carbon heelrests
    - tank cover with backpack
    - tail fairing bag
    - carbon exhaust system protection
    - carbon fairing pullers.

    Then there is a series of options - many of which designed and manufactured specifically for racetrack use. Complementing these options are a dedicated suit and helmet

    Wow. That's a pretty cool set of options.

    I don't see Heli's or sidebags listed though.

    Hello All,
    OK, I know it's my first post, but I am a fellow Euro bike freak. I was at Seacoast Sport Cycle on Sat for the unveiling of the RSV4. It is an amazing bike, muscular and beautiful all at once. It was really cool when they rolled it out and fired it up! It sounded awesome in neutral, but when they put it in gear, it changes the valvetrain and suddenly it takes on this brutal nasty sounding superbike, not Japanese sounding in any way. I'll tell you, I was pretty set on adding either an 1198s or RC8 to my collection, but now I'm seriously reconsidering! I can't wait to try one out, it looks like Aprilia hit this one of of the park!

    I saw the pics on the local forum and wished I had gone up to see it.

    The brownie was good.
