What exhaust do you want to see on the Aprilia RSV4? Let us know! 👇 Aprilia RSV4 exhausts: tinyurl.com/ymbnnse7

[@jonschmid5383]

SC Project hands down sounds the best!!!! True MotoGP sound

[@Goldforks.603]

Sc project prolly will be the most votes, but I really really would love to see it with the Austin Racing

[@jasperpearce8316]

Would love to see the gp22 but its deafening, crt or sc1r are great choices also.

[@kaneophoto3224]

Austin racing gp1

Spark konix

[@tokyorick79]

Personally the RSV4 & Factory are my personal favorite Italian bikes. I was really surprised to see SC project going exclusively with Aprilia in Moto GP but when you hear the SC on the Aprilia it is absolutely brutal. That white is super hard, also like the black/white/gold color way for 24. I’ve seen a few in the roll race scene that shocked a few guys with max effort bikes. Will be real nice to see the finished product.

[@PaulBarurot]

These RSV4s deserve the love most other bikes get. Can't wait for it to get that iconic sound once Ib installs the exhaust!

[@Motomillion]

We'll be installing the exhaust in the next episode :)

I owned an Aprilia RSV out of 2010 it was awesome Greetings from the Netherlands

[@spktylr]

Owned an RSV4 for 5 years and a lot of people didn’t know what it was lol. Now they’re starting to get a lot more popular, esp in my area in NC. Their second hand market is pretty weak so people are scooping them up for cheap.

[@Motomillion]

Yes, very happy to see that they are gaining in popularity :)

[@christianneitzel]

Nice video bro. Nice to see some love for this extraordinary bike. I own a 2019 RSV4. It never disappoints. For it's price tag, it's a premium bike like no other.

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

These have been around in one form or another long enough that I feel their popularity comes in phases, mostly after a refresh. Regardless, any generation is razor sharp on the side and has more than enough grunt to make most who ride them very, very happy. Looks great, too.

[@Motomillion]

Thats an interesting point you bring out about the popularity and refresh.

[@jasperpearce8316]

Summed it up perfectly. I wunt swap mine for nothing. A lil plasticy, wheels are heavy, QS is clunky on the way up and they shake abit around 3k but the sound a punch makes u forget it all. Cant wait to see this progress and what inspiration i can gain from it.

[@MadWilli]

The QS should not be clunky. You either never run/ran the calibration mode, chain is too loose, or someone moved the shifter lever 1-2 teeth to low on the shifter knuckle

[@jasperpearce8316]

@@MadWilli noted! Its fine wide open but part throttle is not the best. Comparing to bmw or ducati like butter as mani said.

[@BrysonSenevira]

I have to say I was more than surprised to see you on a RSV4 cos the last time I came to buy parts for my 2023 aprilia Tuono V4F I was told that aprilia was not one of the bikes you carry many parts for I hope this will change in the future Not a bad review tho, like to hear more about the heating and the ECU problems thanks.

[@Motomillion]

It will definitely change, we will be expanding our Aprilia catalog!

[@EtaSoon777]

I know it was a surprise to hear the S1KRR does not have a counterbalanced engine. Apparently very racebike specific thing. I only recently experienced the double R so fairly late to the platform. But as. I imediately noted the extreme vibrations in fairly useless fuzzy mirrors at highway speeds, numb hands & less obvious until I added Gilles rearsets that eliminates rubber isolated exhaust mount. I’ve gotten used to it but when I roll my ZX10R it feels sooooo smooth. Honda smooth. Possibly the reason for vibration ?

[@Motomillion]

Unrefined engine?

[@BlazinSpeed]

My friend had Aprilia RS125 growing up in Dublin 🇮🇪 it was awesome bike. Derestricted it was as fast as a Japanese 300. I would purchase the base model RSV4 great package and price.

[@Motomillion]

As long as the dealer network where you are is good!

[@pauln6803]

Yes, the Ohlins suspension and forged wheels are nice, but not worth the extra when you can have the Sachs stuff revalved to your requirements and a set of BST carbon wheels (shame Dymag have temporarily ceased their CA5 production as these have an extra lip that may just save your extremely expensive wheels in the event of a less than careful tyre fitter), and still have change for a slip on or adjustable rearsets.

[@Duoify]

Hey Mani, if you are a 2022 Yamaha R1 owner, would this bike be a perfect second bike ?

[@paulmorris6914]

@motomillion Manny…what kind of accessories for the RSV4 are you carrying? I’m looking for carbon fiber wheels and Rizomo mirrors. I don’t want to change too much, but the wheels are just a bit too heavy. I think once I swap them out for CF, the handling will be out of this world!!!

[@Notsogeekgeek]

A very nice video as always Motomillion. I am looking to get a 2023 RSV4 1100 (Base model NOT FACTORY) for my jump from a 650 street (2016 ninja 650) to a super sport. I am extremely undecided as a 2024 S1000RR (base model) is almost the same price as this bike but I still have to get financing (on which ever one I get) cause I still don't have enough cash... I have also been told by many people to stay away from BMW (we also saw the BMW problem on your channel and some others) and some have said that BMW looks a lot better than Aprilia (which I might agree with) but we know sound in Aprilia is a lot better. As you mentioned about the dealer network and aftermarket support, I think Aprilia is trying but not trying hard enough and that's maybe one of the main reason we do not see much quality content on RSV4 or Aprilia in general as compared to anything else. I also agree with you on the thought that Aprilia is a very underrated bike (also why is your channel so underrated???) in the western market right now - I wish I could move to Florida but I am stuck in this Canadian April snow lol. I would love for @650ib to do a video on this specific bike asap too so I can get more insights.

[@Danielspacex]

Thx. True racing bike. If I had money I'd put slicks on it and just make it a track day bike.

[@Motomillion]

Would be very competent!

[@sahilgupta1854]

aprilias are the alfa romeos of the bike world. great bikes but under-rated

[@ceasarmax8251]

Right I have an Alfa Romeo Guilia quadrifoglio and said the same thing that’s why this will be my next bike

[@O8l1v1ous]

I own a 2021 (same gen) it isnt throttle restricted but with rider settings you can restrict power to the throttle with the “AEM”

[@marcosuarez6626]

I love Aprilia’s I had the opportunity to ride a few of them, the sound and the feeling of the engine. But this generation for some reason the clip on are always touching the tank and the fairings.

[@Motomillion]

Yes, and with an exhaust they sound menacing. We will definitely be fixing the issue with the clip ons in a future video!

[@nikkotulloch9497]

Put in user mode and set suspension to active track. Not the mode with slick. It feels much better on the road

[@Motomillion]

Great tip! We'll definitely try that out the next time we ride it

[@jake88ci]

fyi gabro up tune on my 2022 Aprilia rsv4 = bike runs at 180 degrees even at 35/40 mph around town .

[@verdeboyo]

Im a big fan of the RSV4 Absolutely lovely machine this one here is. I've not ridden 2021-24 model. Has it changed from 2021 in any way? Small tweaks or improvement updates! Exhaust I'd have right away is a carbon Akra race can or full system

[@Letsgetit1600]

Great review 🤜🏾

[@Motomillion]

Thank you!

[@redduketeleman]

Decided to slow down at bit due to getting a little long in the tooth so sold my 23 Ducati Panigale V4S and bought a Harley Davidson Breakout. Great bike, lots of torque, pretty. But I got bored. Just swapping the HD in at the end of September for an Aprilia RSV4 Factory SB-09. A little crazy but probably due to my age. I've just hit 68 😈

[@lordgibbness]

Mani, if you fit forged aluminium wheels... Do you know if they can be painted or powder coated to the Aprilia red/orange colour? I notice that most forged wheels are anodized. Thanks!

[@Motomillion]

They can be painted, powder coated and anodized, depending on the look you want. If you are matching a specific color painting is the best option.

[@lordgibbness]

@@Motomillion yeah I want to match the Tuono cast wheel colour - the Aprilia red/orange. I guess that Aprilia use paint on their oe wheels?

[@pauln6803]

They anodise them because it saves even more weight over a painted wheel.

[@DaBritishTurtle]

hey motomillion! im not sure if you would know about this but Aprilia is launching Aprilia rs 457 which is a smaller version of its superbikes. But I have also heard about Aprilia needing constant servicing. Since you know a lot about bikes, would you say that this same issue would apply to the rs 457 too? I really would love to get this smaller cc aprilia but just want to make sure before i do. Thanks and would really appreciate your advice. Cheers!

[@JohnDoe-zo5tu]

I don't know about Europe but here in America, a problem I frequently hear about is parts availability. I've heard and read about too many people whose Aprilia couldn't be ridden for months because the dealership was waiting on parts from Aprilia. It must be very frustrating for them to be making payments on a bike they can't even ride. The RSV4 is definitely a good-looking bike, though.

[@spktylr]

The bikes not even out yet to answer that, but if the launch of the RS660 was any indication I would stay away fr the first year production bikes.

[@tastorque]

Very nice looking bike 😊 I think with sc project will be great 😊

[@Motomillion]

Yes an SC Project would look and sound amazing! Next episode in the series we're installing an exhaust. Stay tuned to see what we choose :)

[@johnadams3038]

Bro why cut the engine noise

[@EVO_Engineering]

Mani, what would you say regarding bike size while sitting on the RSV4 vs the Pani V2? Thanks!

[@ianplayer3329]

Love the v4 👌😍

[@Motomillion]

Its a monster!

[@kassenz]

I love my Aprilia. Beautiful styling High revving 1000cc vtwin. 127hp/75tq But it doesn't run. Broke down last year, left me stranded on highway. Dealer had it for half a year, did nothing. Gave up trying to fix it. Avoided phone calls. Never called me back. Charged me for half hour diagnostic. Another Ducati mechanic "fixed it" and now the starter is running all the time and off button doesn't shut it off. Constant issues with electrical. Time to retire it. I Love the stylish Aprilia Futura But its time to retire it

[@Motomillion]

Such a shame not to be able to get after sales service! They are wonderful bikes!

[@pauln6803]

If the starter is running all the time, there's a very high probability it's your starter solenoid. I made the mistake of cheaping out on an eBay special (if I'd clocked the seller ID I'd have gone nowhere near as I had dealings with this con man through his own website) when I was trying to trace the starting problem on my RC8R. The solenoid literally melted as it couldn't handle the current and caused my starter motor to not disengage when the starter button was released. Check the aprilia forums for the Yamaha unit that is probably cheaper and possibly sturdier, although the sturdier bit might be internet B.S. as aprilia used a lot of Japanese electrical components on the old Rotax V-Twins.

i have a superbike collection of both japanese and euro models . All new models btw. My 2022 Aprilia rsv4 is my favorite bike . Best handling and fastest .

[@elessar2619]

Well I bit the bullet. Bought a '22. Never thought I would. I talked so much shit about any bike that was not japanese lmao. I never thought I'd actually buy one But a lot of the problems can be solved if you are a DIY person. I solved all the problems and now own what I refer to as a "Japanese Aprilia" 😂. Flush cooling system with distilled water first then Change coolant out to 70% water/30%ethylene glycol mix. Remove and delete all emission systems (evap and eliminate all line) Servo and eliminate all lines. Remove engine covers. Seriously, just do it GET A TUNE. IT NEEDS A TUNE. Euro 5 tune is what kills the vibe on this bike for most people. I used gabro upmap Also added gabro stacks, and sc project slip on. This is optional but you MUST get rid of the stock can. Get a cheap leo Vince $220 if you don't want to waste money. No need to buy block off plates for the SAS removal Just cap off the OEM plates with some good silicon plugs. PLEASE USE 10W50 it doesn't run 5w40 anymore for God's sake. 10w50 ONLY. I use motul7100 . You can use whatever brand you like make sure it's 10w50 and top of the line. For me it's OEM filter ONLY. The inside looks completely different from the aftermarket filters. Stator leaks because of the wire grommet. I took it apart and filled that b**ch up with so much RTV lol. No leaks anymore Spark plug holes leak because the gaskets were not out right from factory. This is the most finicky thing to fix if you're not DIY inclined Another minor leak comes from the starter wire. Haven't fixed that one as it is really really minor. Engine braking known as AEB SET TO 1 if you set it to 3 IT WILL BURN OIL. My settings are AEM 2 (1 is too twitchy) AEB 1 ABS 2 ATC 3-4 AWC 1 I strongly recommend having a real professional adjust your suspension to your weight. I paid $80 to have mine done. The stock seat is a piece of wood lmao but I don't mind it 6'0 bike feels as comfortable as my '21 zx10r.

[@elessar2619]

Oh and forgot to add, PEAK OET pink antifreeze at AutoZone is 100% compatible as per the service manual description. Temp never keeps rising when at idle. Although I'm flying most of the time lol The reason you need to do this is Aprilia decided to fill them up with 100% undiluted coolant lol. No water at all. If your fuse #5 keeps blowing just keep a couple in hand lol My friend had his rsv4 blow that fuse 6 times then it never did it again. All in all. To me it's worth it just for the experience of owning something really different from what I was used to. So far 4k miles on it riding hard, slow, in between. Commute, joy rides, long rides, rolls, digs, no problems after I did all of this I described. I can describe in further detail to help any fellow Aprilia riders out. *** If you buy it brand new 0 miles. Break it in hard. Piston rings need vacuum pressure to sit correctly against the cylinder hone. Give it gas and then let off and let the engine brake. That's how you break in an engine So I went 4k let off. For a while 6k let off 8k let off Etc etc. i broke it in like that for a a few miles. Then oil change, and all these mods. Redlining every gear the next day lol. 600 miles break in my ass. Warranty is void anyway when you tune it.

[@lg740xx]

All that work, money and bye bye warranty…..and it will still run hot. Hope you can lane split during heavy traffic

I personally don't trust Aprilia as a 'reliable bike'(and 'Consumer Report' ranks it as one of the most unreliable motorcycles in the lineup of superbikes) since I've read well over 100 complaints(the same complaints at that) about how the bike shuts down right in the middle of riding on either the highway or the street, oil leaks, general unreliability issues, etc..etc...It's a piece of art and belongs in a glass oversized box and stuck in the corner of a garage for artistry purposes.
