MCN took the Aprilia V4R APRC out for a ride on the track and road to compare it to other top-spec rivals on the naked scene: the MV Agusta Brutale 1090RR, the Triumph Speed Triple, the Ducati Streetfighter S and the KTM Super Duke R. That’s an impressive line-up and shows just where super nakeds have got to in recent years.
MCN says that the Aprilia sets a new benchmark, but frankly the competition is stiff. The Triumph has won every group test since it was launched. The Ducati obviously has some impressive on-board technology, as does the MV Agusta Brutale, and the KTM is the ultimate “hooligan” machine. See how the Aprilia compares in the video.
We see a lot of motorcycle tuning efforts on the net, but this is truly a mean-looking machine. This original Ducati Streetfighter S has been super-accessorised with Rizoma and Ducati Performance accessories, and the result is a quality piece of work. It has an Arrow titanium steering damper and few carbon fibre elements thrown in, too. See all the pics below, including some close-up details.
