After finishing the RXV/SXV V-twin enduro and supermoto bikes the Aprilia engineers turned around to concentrate 100% on the biggest Aprilia project ever since the RS3 Cube MotoGP bike. This time the project is World Superbike glory in 2008. The tool for the job is not the RSV-R V60 anymore, but a spanking new V4 1000cc superbike. This will be a very high end bike that will feature groundbreaking technology, very high max power output and glorious design. Our Aprilia spokesperson starts to hyperventilate every time I ask him about the project, but it has been confirmed that we will not see the bike at this years EICMA Exhibition in Milan. 2008 is the year, but we might start seeing pictures of the bike being track tested during 2007. Perhaps even wildcard entries on the racetracks around the world or in the Italian superbike series to measure progress. It will be the first ever Aprilia four cylinder motorcycle and expect MV Agusta prices and design and R1 performance. Aprilia wants to win races straight away and the engineers are now working 24/7 to make sure they do so in 2008. CG by Robert O?Brien. Read more about the Tuono 750 and RSV-R 1000
