2010 Aprilia RSV4 R: cheaper suspension, same engine

Coming a year after the Aprilia RSV4 Factory, this lower-spec model ditches the Ohlins suspension in favor of Showa forks and a Sachs rear shock while retaining the 180bhp 65° V4. No official price has yet been announced in any market, but Aprilia hopes to compete with Japanese liter bikes and the the BMW S1000RR, so expect something in the neighborhood of $15,000. Full details on the Aprilia RSV4 R below.
