Aprilia has taken the wraps off the limited-edition variants of the RSV4 Factory and Tuono V4 Factory. These models will be available from May until the end of 2023. Both the supersport and streetfighter offering will be available in a special 'Speed White' paint scheme, along with red-colored alloy wheels. Apart from the special livery, both motorcycles remain mechanically unaltered.
Why does this story matter?
With a rich heritage of racing in MotoGP and Superbike World Championship, Aprilia is one of the most sought-after brands when it comes to track-focused offerings. The Italian marque had legendary riders such as Valentino Rossi, Loris Capirossi, and Jorge Lorenzo racing for it. Banking on its racing DNA, the bikemaker has unveiled limited-run RSV4 Factory and Tuono V4 Factory models.

It features a twin-pod LED headlamp setup, a sculpted fuel tank, a wide handlebar, angular mirrors, a fiber sump guard, a rider-only saddle, an upswept exhaust, red-colored alloy wheels, a tapered tail section, and a sleek LED taillamp. The streetfighter houses a full-color TFT instrument console with connectivity support.
