Special Edition Aprilia RSV4 Factory & Tuono V4 Factory SE-09 debut at Austin MotoGP

Max Biaggi, on the Brno circuit, won the first unforgettable victory of the Aprilia RSV4 in the World Superbike Championship. No one could have known it at the time, but that was the first part of a now legendary story. It was the beginning of one of the most victorious stories ever for a single model, in the most important factory derivative championship in the world, with an extraordinary collection of seven world titles (3 Rider and 4 Manufacturer), 44 wins and 102 podiums.  

Today, Aprilia celebrates the historic magnitude of that day by bringing back the iconic livery symbolic of the RSV4’s spectacular sporting debut on the crowning jewel of the V4 range: the superbike RSV4 Factory and the hypernaked Tuono V4 Factory. In this special version, RSV4 Factory and Tuono V4 Factory also come standard with carbon front brake air intakes and with a carbon front mudguard. The progressive numbering of the model appears on the fuel tank.

This is how the SE-09 SBK special numbered edition was born: unveiled for the first time in public during the weekend of the MotoGP Grand Prix of the Americas in Austin, Texas.  Aprilia Racing factory riders, Aleix Espargaró and Maverick Viñales, current protagonists in the top world motorcycling championship astride the RS-GP prototypes from Noale, christened the RSV4 Factory and the Tuono V4 Factory in this new, exciting, and evocative version.   

The Aprilia V4 Factory SE-09 SBK machines stand out for their livery dominated by black with the characteristic red and white trim on the top fairing, lug, fuel tank, and tail fairing, exactly like the RSV4 that astonished the world at its debut on the WSBK stage. An unmistakeable mix in its linear simplicity brings the brand from Noale and its legendary sporting history to mind amongst motorcycling enthusiasts.  

Aprilia RSV4 Factory SE-09 SBK is available at a price of £23,450 GBP. Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory SE-09 SBK is priced as £18,550 GBP, and both will be available from the month of June in Aprilia dealerships.
