First Ride on the 2021 Aprilia RSV4 1100!

[@motomike_9983]

People sleep 😴 on aprilia so much and they make some of the best machines in the world. Love ❤ my 21 rsv4

I'm sure the big wigs at Ducati aren't sleeping on Aprilia.

I don’t think they are slept on, people love the look, sound, Power and handling, however their reliability sucks. I’ve seen way too many motors pop that were sub 10k mileage motors. My only complaint.

[@hellraiserrec19]

Reliability issues and difficulty getting parts in lately are why my local dealer stopped carrying them

[@jasonsturrock7553]

Just got a rsv4r. The v4r motor is unbelievable with a full exhaust. It feels & sounds like your riding a small block v8. It is the first bike ive had that literally will throw you off

[@bekeneel]

rsv4rf? Cuz the V4r is a ducati :) think u only need to change the cannister tho cuz the catalyst is in there.

[@damienmcgoldrick4598]

He is right, it is also the first bike i have had that will throw you off the back if you are not focussed.

[@viktorskarlatov8227]

RSV4 is the most aggressive bike stock hands down.

[@nickrider5220]

You almost HAVE to buy an Aprilia V4 engined bike just for ithe sound !!!

[@bekeneel]

If you got the money, I wouldn't doubt lol. I liked the H2 a lot too, but this V4 sound can't be beat. Also a "hypersport" bike like H2 isn't ideal, like it's heavier and those crazy speeds u can't rly use it on normal roads. I think the Tuono would have my preference, mainly cuz of the different handlebar.

This is the only bike that power wheelies a bit third gear stock and I'm a bit a of chonker. And that's with a smooth roll on, no body swinging or suspension bouncing. Neither the V4S nor the S1K nor the R1M does that stock.

[@MrSparkyAprilia]

About time you rode a big boy Aprilia!

[@dhowting]

You have it in the 6th level of automatic traction control (ATC) and your automatic wheelie control is also on (AWC)....modes showing across the bottom of the gauge screen is probably why it isn't aggressive as you'd expect. There are tons of custom options in the sub menus for fuel and throttle mapping, traction control, wheelie control, ABS, it can even be programmed to automatically use the rear brake to combat wheel spin. I THINK you can also customize the gauge screen to show a fuel gauge and other different info.......you just have to be stopped and have the bike in neutral to set everything up .... It's a safety feature so you're not messing with it while you're riding. Yammie Noob has a Tuono V4 with an Austin Racing exhaust on it and it sounds ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS!!!! If you want a super naked go for it or a KTM Super Duke!!!!

[@fossmarkluni]

yup, ATC needs to come down or even off, with that ATC level on my Tuono it restricts the power severly

[@rowdybroomstick6394]

Not that it's that big deal or anything but just so you know it's, Aprilia Wheelie Control Aprilia Traction Control, not automatic anything. If you we're to be talking to an Aprilia service person or Aprilia Rep they wouldn't know what you we're saying. And as far as HP goes I think I've heard a few people on KZbin say the non-factory edition like he's riding here only has 189.9 horse power and the factory edition has 217. But even that amount wouldn't be noticeable I wouldn't think, like you I'm thinking his settings aren't the best. Severely limited for sure!

[@RumHam93]

My 14 pulls in the first 3 gears like crazy. Road mode definitely makes the release of the throttle easier on you. Easily snatched up after WC is turned off

[@johnnazar180]

The streetfighter v4 with the ducati upmap would be a sweet new bike

In order to meet the EURO 5 requirements it's toned down a ton. Tone down the ATC and AWC settings and tune the bike and your mind will be blown.

[@MegaTechpc]

You can find older ones for crazy cheap. I got my 2018 as a year-old leftover in 2019 and paid $15,400 OTD! Granted, it’s the RR with the 999cc engine but for the price of a standard GSXR it couldn’t be beat. Plus it’s got all the features like the TFT gauges, cruise control,pit limiter, steel braided brake lines, Brembo master cylinder and M50’s. The Factory was $10k more and just added the 1100cc engine but my bike is way faster than I could ever need to begin with. Just went over 9700 miles today (it had 7 miles when I bought it) and have had precisely zero issues so far. Not looking forward to the 12k mile valve check service though.

[@michaelmorris1709]

The bike is choked up by the electronics. I do not recommend doing this if you are not comfortable riding the bike. Remove wheelie control, then slowly step down traction control. The bike is choked by these settings to prevent wheel spin or the tire picking up. Once you take it off it is strictly raw.

[@PetroHead]

The sport / track mode keeps the engine power delivery on L2 so you have to manually change it so it gives you full engine mapping. This is why you didn't feel any difference. Full engine mapping is unreal.

Restrictions are you running with ATC at 6 with 8 max on lame, I run my '21 Tuono ATC 1-2, 3 sometimes. AWC (Wheelie control) I have same at 2, but it does pull back on throttle at times. AEB set to 2 is best. 3 is nill and 1 is almost smacking your nuts into the tank when off throttle. But 2 is perfect. AEM should be 1 for max throttle response. You could have ridden mine back in Dec. when I was at AF1 Racing.
