Frequent contributor Marty/dallaslavowner spotted this Aprilia Bol D’Or on ebay and wrote the following:
The bol d’or may be the same mechanically as the standard RSV but it is definitely more eye catching than the standard black RSV of the era. Last one seen on RSBFS was back in April and at the time, Ian wrote “I’ve seen them listed from $12,000 (practically no miles) to $8,500 (a few thousand).” So even though price is above IKBB it seems to be inline given the fact that its one of only 300 produced with this commemorative color scheme. Plus the seller indicates he will listen to offers so perhaps its time to add this one to someones garage…

As an ’08 Bol d’Or owner, I am always thrilled to see them posted here. Nice write-up, though I am curious where you come up with the production numbers- to my knowledge it was 200, to commemorate the number of championship race wins. Would love a definitive number once and for all, anyone,…Bueller, Bueller…..
love the bike, but it seems overpriced but a good margin. one sold on ebay not too long ago in similarly pampered condition with alot less miles for WELL UNDER $7K:

From the website “Bikez.com”
“Aprilia is celebrating its impressive sporting record by giving the 200 limited edition RSVs new graphics – taken directly from the bike that finished third in the Superstock class at the legendary “Bol d’Or”, the most famous 24 hour motorcycle endurance race in the world.”
Looks like there was 200 of these Bol d’Or replicas made.
Thanks, Rollingart, for the confirmation.
