In 2004, Aprilia updated their flagship liter bike to create the RSV 1000 R – an excellent option for riders demanding a street-legal track weapon with some rarity. For even more performance, the Italian firm offered a “Factory” model which included carbon fiber bodywork, fully adjustable Ohlins suspension, and forged aluminum wheels. Though it was exquisite, fast, and beautiful, it did not sell as well as it should have (something you can unfortunately still say today about the RSV4 and Tuono).
This example is quite a stunner thanks to the care of its sole owner, who liberally applied the contents of his wallet to add some modifications. He has put on 6,401 miles after buying the bike as a leftover in 2011. He notes that the bike had a misaligned bracket from new that allowed the right lower cowl to come into contact with the header. The bracket was fixed and the damage is minimal but a new set of lower cowls (both left and right) is included in the sale.
Highlights of the modifications include Leo Vince GenIII titanium slipon exhausts, Brembo master cylinders for the clutch and front brake, Woodcraft rearsets/clipon risers/reservoir mounts, Rhino Moto axle sliders, upgraded Ohlins shock, Aprilia carbon fiber solo seat cowl, and plenty more. You’ll get all the stock parts and an Axone diagnostic computer.
