The RSV4 Factory APRC Special Edition is a milestone in the history of super sport bikes.

All the  racing expertise gathered during the successful 2010 season of World Champion Max Biaggi was built in to a bike that sets a new standard for future road bike development.

Unique adjustable traction control capable of self-adjusting to suit different tyres, wheelie control, launch control, quickshift :these are the RSV4 Factory APRCSE's new features that raise the bar in road and track performance.

This project is designed for those who want top riding performance on the track at a price/equipment ratio unequalled in its class.

RSV4 Factory APRC SE is the direct descendent of the World Superbike winner.
