Max Biaggi brought Aprilia to the top of the world superbike show in 2010, and the factory commemorated the achievement with a limited edition for 2011. Today’s RSV4 has all the bells and whistles, low miles, and plenty of farkles.
2011 Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC SE for sale on eBay
Priced at $25K back in 2011, the SE had everything an Aprilia fan could dream of – the latest ride-by-wire V4 with selectable engine maps, intake horns and exhaust chamber controlled by the ECU – not to mention 180 hp. The twin spar chassis and swingarm are intricately fabricated of alloy pressings and castings, and offers adjustments for the steering head, swingarm pivot height and even engine position. A suite of APRC electronics offers traction, wheelie and launch control, as well as a standard quick shifter. Fairings are trim and angular with matte carbon details.
Even as a pre-loved bike, the APRC would require a committed rider, which with 7,365 miles it must’ve had at some point. It presents very well if not clean enough to show, and while collection of sliders is almost scary, they appear un-used, save a scorch or scratch on the right lower. The seat console looks better without the factory thong / license plate holder, and the Austin muffler isn’t that much smaller than the original equipment. Hopefully the rear stand and prayer mat are included in the deal. Notes from the eBay auction –

Fans who missed out on the 2011 SE got another chance in 2013 after Biaggi was the 2012 champion, though only the 2011 SE has the #3 graphic. Aprilia parlayed their superbike success into a Moto GP team starting in 2015, and Aleix Espargaró and Maverick Viñales have been on the podium often as not this year. The 2011 model might be more rare and commemorates Aprilia’s first WSBK championship.

I know these are great bikes but the whole mini tail era leaves me a bit sad. Guess I spent too much time lusting after the zx11 with the batwing rear fairing
After listing this bike originally for $13500, the seller is now asking $17000 and is “sure it will sell Wednesday (9/14)” based on the response he says he has gotten. He believes “This is the best RSV4 most people will ever see or ride”..Personally, I won’t buy off sellers like this.
Inflation or real value? When tatty Aprilia Mille V twins can be had for a few thousand, you’d want to need this model quite badly to pay that price. New V4s aren’t much dearer
