Aprilia still under scrutiny
Aprilia continues to be under close scrutiny by their opponents, after Francis Batta’s it’s a prototype the superbike team were told to change the chassis they used during the Phillip Isalnd and Qatar rounds but were unable to do so immediately due to logistic problems.
According to the technical commission, the chassis were slightly different from the ones Aprilia uses on their RSV4 Factory production bike and gave them until the Valencia round to fix the situation, which the Noale based company complied to.
Aprilia riders Max Biaggi and Shinya Nakano barely avoided further controversy when they did a couple of slow laps around the Misano race circuit for the Aprilia RSV4 Factory world launch promo film and for the journalists and photographers present for the launch.
Aprilia RSV4 Factory gallery
Here’s a full gallery of the Aprilia RSV4 Factory as the company releases its 20,000 euro gem to the market. The bike is really 180 hp of pure adrenalin, and here are the official RSV4 Factory pics.
Senior Vice President of Product Development and Racing, Leo Francesco Mercanti, has said that Aprilia has managed to keep to its project promises in the face of doubts about its acquisition in 2005 by Piaggio. “We wanted Aprilia to become the brand of excellence within the Piaggio Group for larger motorcycles and in three years we’ve launched Shiver, Mana, Dorsoduro and now the new RSV4. It creates a completely new road in the world of sports superbikes.”
After a project costing a huge 25 million euros, success looks certain, especially with the high quality technicians and riders Biaggio and Nakano, that Aprilia has invested in.
