| 2008 Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory Signiture Model As NewYou are here > Sold Inventory > Sold Motorcycles & Choppers I am pleased to present this 2008 Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory Signature Model. It is in new condition with under 250 miles and still under the full transferable factory warranty. VIN # is ZD4RRTR0285000989.The model is a FACTORY, limited edition, signature model. The Aprilia USA racing team of Mike and David Lloyd both signed the extra rear pillion seat. MSRP when new was $17,999.
- This year’s Master Bike has scientifically and conclusively demonstrated that the Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory is the most efficient winning machine on the racetrack. It is also the first non-Japanese bike to dominate the final points table, and the most impressive V-twin in the competition. - The RSV 1000 R Factory is the best twin cylinder supersport that money can buy. Its updated V60 Magnesium engine and new chassis combine with special, ultra-light materials and the best components in the world to ensure absolute excellence on the track. The Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory is the utmost expression of Aprilia's technological and sporting heritage. - Here is a bike designed for those who demand maximum performance on the track. Yet, like all previous RSV 1000 R models, the new Factory still sells at a surprisingly low price. Just like its predecessors, the new Factory brings you the best motorcycle technology in the world at a rock bottom price. Nowhere else will you find this level of equipment for such a low outlay. - The Factory is an RSV 1000 R that has been pushed beyond the excellence barrier, cleverly modified and equipped with only superlative components. The important details that distinguish the Factory from the standard RSV 1000 R are: - Fully adjustable Öhlins Racing rear monoshock - Adjustable Öhlins steering damper fitted as standard - Gold painted, forged aluminum wheels - Carbon fiber parts kit fitted as standard - Rider's seat with non-slip racing upholstery - Frame finished in gold - Pirelli SuperCorsa Pro 120/70 – 190/55 ZR 17 tires The Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory is equipped with world-beating solutions and components taken directly from the world of racing. The result is truly impressive in terms of design and manufacturing quality. The RSV 1000 R Factory stands apart from other twin-cylinder machines for the perfect balance it achieves between quality, technology, high-tech components and finish. Engine: Even the V60 Magnesium engine that powers the Factory has benefited from many improvements introduced to boost performance and achieve Euro 3 homologation at the same time. The new engine puts out 105.24 kilowatts (143 horsepower) at 10,000 revolutions per minute and develops a maximum torque of 103 Newton meters at 8,000 revolutions per minute. The exhaust system now has external catalytic converters that are installed nearer the collector pipes to cut activation time. The Factory is homologated to Euro 3 standards as a result, meaning lower emissions than ever before. Frame: The Factory has the same super-light frame as the RSV 1000 R. Only the gold finish is different, giving the bike a more aggressive look. The swingarm is the same too, but is polished instead of painted for greater wear resistance. Suspension: The 43 mm upside-down Öhlins Racing fork is titanium nitride (TiN) coated for maximum smoothness. Its advanced design with longer sleeves and shorter fork bottoms reduces load at two critical points, the slide bush and the stanchion to fork bottom joint. Wheel travel is 120 millimeters. Like all top racing forks, the Öhlins allows precision adjustment of compression and rebound damping as well as spring preload. The fork has new, forged aluminum mounting blocks to enable radial calipers to be fitted. An Öhlins Racing rear monoshock is fitted as standard. The unit incorporates a separate piggy back nitrogen cylinder and provides adjustments for spring preload, compression and rebound. A characteristic unique to Aprilia is that the length of the monoshock can be adjusted directly from the unit itself to vary the height of the bike’s rear end. Perfect suspension setup can therefore be achieved for all riding styles and all track characteristics. Brakes: The world’s top twin cylinder supersport demands top quality brakes. The RSV 1000 R Factory is at the cutting edge of technology, and is equipped with Triple Bridge, radial caliper front brakes developed by Aprilia in conjunction with Brembo. The rear brakes are Brembo too, and have a 220 millimeter stainless steel disc and a caliper with two 32 millimeter pistons. The front and rear braking circuits both use aeronautical metal braid hoses to eliminate the pressure variations associated with conventional rubber brake lines, guaranteeing maximum braking precision. Components: What places the Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory in a class of its own is the care taken in its design and manufacture and the attention paid to every single component on the bike. The result is increased performance, better feel and greater rideability, with reduced weight and a quality and finish that no other bike can equal. An exclusive two chamber steering damper from Öhlins Racing’s competition range is fitted as standard. The damper is adjustable to adapt steering response to all possible riding conditions. Extensive use of carbon fiber components makes the bike far lighter as well as more refined. The mudguards and various fairing parts are made of extremely light woven black carbon fiber. The RSV 1000 R Factory also features a steering pin in aluminum instead of steel to help reduce weight. The exclusively designed forged wheels deserve special mention. Made by OZ Racing, these wheels are one of the most distinctive features of the bike, not just in appearance, but in technical specifications too. They are forged in Anticorodal 6061 aluminum using an 8,000 ton hydraulic press. This manufacturing technique produces wheels that are totally free from the defects and porosity that can always occur in conventional casting processes, and gives exceptional mechanical characteristics. Finite element analysis was used to identify the best possible wheel design. The result is a six spoke front wheel and a five spoke back wheel with ‘Y’ profile spokes forking at the rim to provide two anchor points each. This spoke design is not just a question of looks. It gives excellent lateral and torsional rigidity and thus helps maintain perfect wheel to suspension alignment. On the RSV 1000 R Factory everything has been designed for performance and beauty. The saving in weight is also exceptional. Each wheel weighs about 25 percent less than the lightest available wheels made using conventional aluminum casting techniques. Inertia is therefore 25 percent lower than with cast aluminum alloy wheels. The wheels are also anodized instead of painted. This has further reduced weight and ensures that these essential components keep their characteristic finish for the entire life of the bike. Even the manufacturing specifications have been recessed into the wheel instead of embossed on it, for a final touch of class. Added together, all these tiny savings mean that the RSV 1000 R Factory achieves an amazing dry weight of only 185 kilograms. Exclusive components on the RSV 1000 R Factory: Öhlins Racing fork, set up and optimized for solo riding, with adjustments for spring preload, compression and rebound damping Öhlins Racing rear monoshock, set up and optimized for solo riding, adjustable in length (as well as spring preload, compression and rebound) Öhlins Racing two chamber steering damper Carbon fiber front mudguard Carbon fiber rear mudguard Carbon fiber fairing air vents Carbon fiber cockpit fairing spoilers Carbon fiber fairing cover OZ Racing forged aluminum front wheel OZ Racing forged aluminum rear wheel Pirelli SuperCorsa Pro 120/70 – 190/55 tires
In 2005, to Lloyd Brothers Motorsports, Inc. successfully developed and raced the only Aprilia-based motorcycles in AMA professional competition with a limited schedule. The strongest competitor in flat track, Harley–Davidson, has dominated the sport for the past twenty years. We started with Aprilia engines and developed our own chassis. With part-time riders, a limited budget, and innovative engineering and design, the Aprilia has evolved into a very competitive flat track racer. Our unique effort attracted Aprilia USA as our support sponsor for our successful 2006 season. We attended all 11 AMA Grand National Twins races and qualified for the 18 rider main event 7 times. To put this in perspective, only 9 established teams made more main events and only 3 additional teams made as many main events as the Aprilia. In 2007, Aprilia and Lloyd Brothers Motorsports, Inc., with associate sponsor American Agip, expanded our efforts to include The Grand AM Moto-ST Endurance Road Race Series winning 3 of the 6 events and the overall championship. In flat track, 2008 marked our most successful season finishing in the top 10 several times and missing first place at the Lima, Ohio National by .017 seconds. This would have been the first win in the twin cylinder class for a new brand other than Honda or Harley-Davidson in over 26 years.
The in-service date for this Aprilia is Aug 2009 - this is the date that the warranty period began. It is covered by the factory warranty for 2 years (until August 2011) and is fully transferrable.
I have not personally inspected or photographed this motorcycle. I am relying on the pictures and descriptions provided by the seller. I can however tell that this rare Aprilia is in excellent/new condition and carries the balance of the factory warranty. Don't sit around and think about this one for too long or it will be gone. I invite and encourage any interested party to inspect this bike in the Lehigh Valley, Pa (approx. 50 miles north of Phila. Pa) and determine for yourself that this Aprilia is fast and ready to ride.
