The usual motorcycle vs car video, but this time it’s the Aprilia RSV4 and the 2010 Alfa Mito Quadrifoglio Verde (green cloverleaf) going against each at the Temple of Speed, the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza.

The idea was to see which machine with more or less similar performance features was faster on the turns and chicanes. The Aprilia liter bike pours out 200hp and has 125 Nm of torque, while the Mito is equipped with the 1.4-litre TB MultiAir engine with 170hp and 250 Nm of torque. The maximum speed for the Mito is 219 km/h, while we know that Max Biaggi using his RSV4F went throught the speed traps at 327km/h during the Monza SBK free practice earlier this month

What was the result of this speed test? An almost a tied match according to Motociclismo.it, who did the test using GPS.

The car was slightly faster on turns one and two and at the the Ascari, while the Aprilia was 3 to 4 km faster at the Lesmo and Parabolica, the big difference was at the Curva Grande where the RSV4 showed off it’s enormous superiority in acceleration.
