Original Owner
Clean California Title
Listed Price: $10,999
The Aprilia RSV was the company’s first large-displacement sportbike and a shot across Ducati’s bow. As you’d expect, it was powered by a booming v-twin, but the Aprilia’s Rotax-developed engine introduced significant innovations, including a narrow 70° v-angle that improved packaging, compared to the Ducati “L-twin.” A set of balance shafts negated the vibrations the narrower configuration would normally cause, allowing the engine to rev freely and make competitive power, while an unusual, vacuum-assisted “pneumatic” slipper clutch helped smooth downshifts. This engine was wrapped by Aprilia’s characteristic aluminum beam frame, and the whole package worked extremely well while proving to be surprisingly reliable as a bonus. The Aprilia RSV1000R Factory seen here showcases the company’s first major update to their v-twin superbike, with completely new bodywork and a redesigned frame. In this iteration, the “Factory” designation denotes the premium trim level that also served as the homologation version of the bike. As you’d expect, the Factory included a fully-adjustable Öhlins shock and steering damper, forged aluminum wheels, and “lightweight” carbon-fiber bits.

While the Aprilia RSV1000R Factory doesn’t quite have the cachet of a contemporary Ducati 999, it’s still a very handsome bike with far less controversial styling, makes a great sound from the period Akrapovic exhaust, and has handling to match. Plus there’s the added bonus of better ergonomics than you’ll find on the aforementioned Ducatis. The issue here is that this example is probably priced at least several thousand dollars too high, based on other bikes we’ve seen for sale recently. But if you’ve been jones-ing for an RSV1000R, this very low mile, one-owner example might be worth the extra CASH ONLY the seller is very adamant about. As a bonus, it also sounds like you’ll be handed a tall, cold, Monster Energy drink as you fork over your CASH ONLY, NO CERTIFIED CHECK, NO BULLSHIT..

Always wanted one of these, but I’m out as I’m clearly not a ‘pro’ LOL.
That price is delusional…
Spelling is hard!
Cool bike. Usually undervalued (when sellers realize, and set reasonable prices).
Of all the spelling errors here, the suspension “dumper” is easily the best.
Will make a great rider for someone, if a reasonable price is agreed. (I’d note the ad mentions $7k, even if the headline number is higher. $7k is within the zone, in my view.)
Thanks, as always, for posting cool bikes!
Yeah, sometimes I actually correct the spelling in the listings, just to save embarrassment. In this case, I thought you might enjoy the unfiltered experience…
The Aprilia RSV1000R Bol d’Or I posted recently was much more reasonably priced, considering how rare it is. Less than 10k miles and he was asking $7,000 for a much rarer bike with the same spec. That’s the one I’d want. Great bikes to ride, and seriously undervalued.
The man said he wants CASH 😆
